python new test frameworks

Yes, I exploited lack of random tests

python new test framework is required.

It was fun to discover nega-binaries. But in the meantime, I realized that ternary (base 3) numbers offer negatives more naturally by using the digit -1 instead of 2, so we have numbers ..., ˧11, ˧˧, ˧0, ˧1, ˧, 0, 1, 1˧, 10, 11, 1˧˧, ....

Also, for binaries we can simply add another terminator besides the zero end, which corresponds to infinite 1 digits to the left, but it actually acts in all means as -1.

Nice!

How was using negabinary for you?
Do you think it's better than just using signed magnitude would be, or is it over the top? It makes some things more complex, and others less, than in signed magnitude, but is it overall a good encoding, is it a good trade-off?

Python: Random tests are vulnerable to input modification

Python: see this

The description says:

We can assume that each attribute has its copy constructor implemented.

But a.u is an instance of the class U which does not have a copy constructor.

This also implies that we should copy the attributes when getattr is called, but the it_5 tests don't follow this, in particular with this test:

a.u.x += 8

If I actually copy the attributes, I fail this test.

(I would also like to bring attention to this unresolved issue from 4 years ago, which also caused me some frustration.)

OK, issues resolved, please republish now.

ETA: Yay! :D

Thank you very much.
Sorry, I lost focus and could have turned to this somewhat later only..

proposed fix ( addresses more than just this issue )

TODO: random tests

( I know you know. but publishing without them is just a bad idea. you can always ask people to review your unpublished kata in Discord! with a link, it's solvable, even if not submittable. )

ETA: Do you need help writing random tests? I could do ( parts of ) that.

Maybe I'm too technically minded, but I would just like to see "all infixed operators have equal precedence, and associate to the left" ( or similar jargon ). The "natural flow of operations" is just too English, and not enough maths, for my tastes.

Other opinions may be available. ( If so, let's hear 'em! )
