+# Acronym
+
+Convert a phrase to its acronym.
+
+Techies love their TLA (Three Letter Acronyms)!
+
+Help generate some jargon by writing a program that converts a long name
+like Portable Network Graphics to its acronym (PNG).
+
+## Exception messages
+
+Sometimes it is necessary to raise an exception. When you do this, you should include a meaningful error message to
+indicate what the source of the error is. This makes your code more readable and helps significantly with debugging. Not
+every exercise will require you to raise an exception, but for those that do, the tests will only pass if you include
+a message.
+
+To raise a message with an exception, just write it as an argument to the exception type. For example, instead of
+`raise Exception`, you shold write:
+
+```python
+raise Exception("Meaningful message indicating the source of the error")
+```
+
+
+## Submitting Exercises
+
+Note that, when trying to submit an exercise, make sure the solution is in the `exercism/python/<exerciseName>` directory.
+
+For example, if you're submitting `bob.py` for the Bob exercise, the submit command would be something like `exercism submit <path_to_exercism_dir>/python/bob/bob.py`.
+
+For more detailed information about running tests, code style and linting,
+please see the [help page](http://exercism.io/languages/python).

+# All Your Base
+
+Convert a number, represented as a sequence of digits in one base, to any other base.
+
+Implement general base conversion. Given a number in base **a**,
+represented as a sequence of digits, convert it to base **b**.
+
+## Note
+
+- Try to implement the conversion yourself.
+  Do not use something else to perform the conversion for you.
+
+## About [Positional Notation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation)
+
+In positional notation, a number in base **b** can be understood as a linear
+combination of powers of **b**.
+
+The number 42, *in base 10*, means:
+
+(4 * 10^1) + (2 * 10^0)
+
+The number 101010, *in base 2*, means:
+
+(1 * 2^5) + (0 * 2^4) + (1 * 2^3) + (0 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^1) + (0 * 2^0)
+
+The number 1120, *in base 3*, means:
+
+(1 * 3^3) + (1 * 3^2) + (2 * 3^1) + (0 * 3^0)
+
+I think you got the idea!
+
+*Yes. Those three numbers above are exactly the same. Congratulations!*

+## Running the tests

+To run the tests, run the appropriate command below ([why they are different](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1629#issue-161422224)):
+
+- Python 2.7: `py.test all_your_base_test.py`
+- Python 3.3+: `pytest all_your_base_test.py`
+
+Alternatively, you can tell Python to run the pytest module (allowing the same command to be used regardless of Python version):
+`python -m pytest all_your_base_test.py`
+
+### Common `pytest` options
+
+- `-v` : enable verbose output
+- `-x` : stop running tests on first failure
+- `--ff` : run failures from previous test before running other test cases
+
+For other options, see `python -m pytest -h`

+## Submitting Exercises
+
+Note that, when trying to submit an exercise, make sure the solution is in the `$EXERCISM_WORKSPACE/python/all-your-base` directory.
+
+You can find your Exercism workspace by running `exercism debug` and looking for the line that starts with `Workspace`.

+# Armstrong Numbers
+
+An [Armstrong number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_number) is a number that is the sum of its own digits each raised to the power of the number of digits.
+
+For example:
+
+- 9 is an Armstrong number, because `9 = 9^1 = 9`

+- 154 is *not* an Armstrong number, because: `154 != 1^3 + 5^3 + 4^3 = 1 + 125 + 64 = 190`

+# Palindrome Products
+
+Detect palindrome products in a given range.
+
+A palindromic number is a number that remains the same when its digits are
+reversed. For example, `121` is a palindromic number but `112` is not.
+
+Given a range of numbers, find the largest and smallest palindromes which
+are products of numbers within that range.
+
+Your solution should return the largest and smallest palindromes, along with the
+factors of each within the range. If the largest or smallest palindrome has more
+than one pair of factors within the range, then return all the pairs.
+
+## Example 1
+
+Given the range `[1, 9]` (both inclusive)...
+
+And given the list of all possible products within this range:
+`[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 15, 21, 24, 27, 20, 28, 32, 36, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 42, 48, 54, 49, 56, 63, 64, 72, 81]`
+
+The palindrome products are all single digit numbers (in this case):
+`[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]`
+
+The smallest palindrome product is `1`. Its factors are `(1, 1)`.
+The largest palindrome product is `9`. Its factors are `(1, 9)` and `(3, 3)`.
+
+## Example 2
+
+Given the range `[10, 99]` (both inclusive)...
+
+The smallest palindrome product is `121`. Its factors are `(11, 11)`.
+The largest palindrome product is `9009`. Its factors are `(91, 99)`.
