This is the May monthly meeting. Normally some of us go on to the pub afterwards.

The intent is to do a Python programming exercise - a kata - in pairs. The kata we're going to do has some not-very-good Python code, but has good tests. The aim is to make the Python code nicer, using the tests to prove that it still works as planned.

We will need at least half the attendees to have a laptop with Python3 installed, and preferably the Mu editor (https://codewith.mu/) as this is a good editor for shared work.

If you can, it would be useful to have cloned the git repository at
https://github.com/emilybache/Yatzy-Refactoring-Kata (we're obviously going to be using the Python code therein), and to have installed pytest (possibly in a virtual environment). We can help with both of those on the day if you're not sure what needs doing (and I'll have a copy of the repository on a USB stick if you don't have / don't want git).

Please note that this meeting will be sponsored by WeGift (https://wegift.io/), who will be providing pizza, and introducing themselves at the start of the session.
