-## Exercise 1
-
-In the episode on [Randomness](http://software-carpentry.org/4_0/invperc/random)
-we discussed how it is important (and saves time!) to use well-tested library
-routines to generate random numbers.  This principle of reuse is also true for
-any other task you need to carry out.  Python is packaged with an [extensive
-library of modules](http://docs.python.org/library/index.html). What module
-could you use to...
-	
-* parse a string containing a date or time (e.g. "Thursday, 27 May, 2010")? 
-   > [`datetime`](http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html) and in particular,
-   > the function [`datetime.strptime()`](http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.strptime)
-
-
-* inspect a bunch of files in a folder or subfolders?
-   > One module for doing this is the
-   > [`os.path`](http://docs.python.org/library/os.path.html).  It has lots of
-   > functions for manipulating path names, and also this gem of a function:
-   > [`os.path.walk`](http://docs.python.org/library/os.path.html#os.path.walk).
-
-* manage command line arguments to your program?
-   > [`argparse`](http://docs.python.org/library/argparse.html)
-
-* access data on the web?
-   > For very basic operations like downloading files, check out:
-   > [`urllib`](http://docs.python.org/library/urllib.html)
-
-
-## Exercise 2
-
-In this lecture we wrote roughly the following snippet to parse the command line arguments.
-    
-```python
-import sys
-
-def fail(message):
- print message
- sys.exit(1)
-
-def parse_arguments(arguments):
-  '''Parse strings to get controlling parameters.'''
-
-  try:
-    grid_size   = int(arguments[0])
-    value_range = int(arguments[1])
-    random_seed = int(arguments[2])
-  except IndexError:
-    fail('Expected 3 arguments, got %d' % len(arguments))
-  except ValueError:
-    fail('Expected int arguments, got %s' % str(arguments))
-
-  return grid_size, value_range, random_seed
-
-if __name__ == '__main__':
- arguments = sys.argv[1:]
- grid_size, value_range, random_seed = parse_arguments(arguments)
-
-  # print out the arguments
-  print "grid size = %i \t value range = %i \t seed = %i" % \
-     (grid_size, value_range, random_seed)
-```
-
-As we learned in Exercise 1, python comes with a library,
-[`argparse`](http://docs.python.org/library/argparse.html), to do this in a way
-that's easier to extend and with better error messages.  
-
-In this exercise, you'll rework the above code to use the argparse library.
-You'll need to import the `argparse` module, and rewrite `parse_arguments` to
-use it.
-
-**A hint on getting started:**
-
-> You'll need to create an ArgumentParser object, and then call it's
-> `add_argument` method for each of the arguments.
-
-
-**A hint on setting up `argparse`:**
-
-> The arguments are positional arguments so when you call `add_argument` you just
-> need to supply a
-> [name](http://docs.python.org/library/argparse.html#name-or-flags), and a type
-> (extra hint: `int`).  Passing in a help message, default value, and so on is not
-> mandatory.
-
-**A hint if you're really stuck:**
-
-> ```python
-> parser.add_argument('grid_size', type=int, help="Grid size")
-> ```
-
-**A hint on accessing the parsed arguments:**
-
-> If you created an argument named "foo", you can access it by calling:
-> 
-> ```python
-> args = parser.parse_args()
-> print args.foo
-> ```
-
-**Our answer:**
-> ```python
-> import sys, argparse
-> 
-> def parse_arguments(arguments):
->   '''Parse strings to get controlling parameters.'''
-> 
->   parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
->   parser.add_argument('grid_size',   type=int, help='Grid size')
->   parser.add_argument('value_range', type=int, help='Value range')
->   parser.add_argument('random_seed', type=int, help='Random seed')
->   args   = parser.parse_args(arguments)
-> 
->   return args.grid_size, args.value_range, args.random_seed
-> 
-> if __name__ == '__main__':
->   arguments = sys.argv[1:]
->   grid_size, value_range, random_seed = parse_arguments(arguments)
->   print "grid size = %i \t value range = %i \t seed = %i" % \
->     (grid_size, value_range, random_seed)
-> ```
->
-> The `fail()` function is no longer necessary since `argparse.parse_args`
-> exits and prints a help message if incorrect arguments are passed in.  Try
-> running your program with only the argument "-h" to get a more verbose help
-> message.
