While that is a great pratice, it is sure not for 7 kyu kata.

I didn't start this kata yet, so I can't tell weather your solution is right or not. But there IS a differences between "expected" and "instead got":

instead got: '[96, 8, 87, 76, 71, 46, 96, 95, 52, 75, 17, 92, 76, 99, 51, 81, 45, 33, 90, 74, 17, 10, 96, 60, 10, 79...
After this sequense there should be "0", but you don't have it.

Not sure if the question is still relevant since it was published 5 months ago, but someone upvoted, so anyway.

You're right. Sorry, my bad!

"Arthur wants to make sure that there are at least AS MANY WOMEN AS MEN at this year's party."

That means that [1, -1] should equal True, but in the python tast case it is equal False.
Please, fix that.

I swear to God I'm gonna throw a party after I complete this kata! >:C

This is beautiful

That probably should be 'lowerCase' not 'loverCase'

Oh, I see. Thank you for your answers!

And I don't need to manually write down what Animal class should do? Neat.
Thsnk you for your explanation!

Can anyone explain to me how it happens that self.name stores a value?

Can you please publish your code? This solution works fine for me, so I'm even eager to know what is the reason it doesn't work for you.
