Your code doesn't work with big numbers. It returns true for this: 4835703278458516698824706 and 2⁸² is 4835703278458516698824704 instead. See this

Broken how? It worked for me.

I think this Kata is broken for Python mmmmmmm

Lol i relied on luck

No prob :)

ah ok thanks!

Instead of making such long wall of if statements you could just create a tuple of months, then look for index of month from current_date and expiration_date in this tuple and replace this month with index number.
For instance:

Months = ('January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June',
             'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December')
a[0] = months.index(a[0])
b[0] = months.index(b[0])

I think this way would be easier and less backbreaking.

Ah ok. Thank you!

It's good to see an explanation given when retiring a kata.

Hi,

If you're interested in authoring more kata, you might want to read this documentation, so that you get a better idea about what's expected (or not) for the beta process.

for instance:

• lack of random tests
• you're testing a builtin (see Unnamed's/my solution). This kind of kata doesn't pass the beta phase anymore.
• see the section about "novel ideas" too, in the documentation.

Cheers
