foss-contribution-exercise

Simple example package to demo techniques of contributing to open-source

As an exercise, this repo is intentionally:

• simple
• silly
• incomplete
• partially wrong! (we have to have bugs to work against, after all)

>>> from word-calculator import calc
>>> calc('3 plus 4')
