The Python Challenge (http://www.pythonchallenge.com/) is an online series of puzzles that are intended to be solved with some form of scripting. While only 2 of the 33 challenges must be solved in Python, specifically, the challenged are designed to be easily solved with Python.
The general format of each problem is to create a script to process a provided set of data which should result in the next url for the riddle.
This first one is simply an introduction to the format of answering the puzzle.
The puzzle is a picture of 238. We can quickly solve for this in Python with:
2**38
Replacing the 0 in the url with the result (274877906944) gets us to the next challenge.
