How to hook into your code:

The aoc runner uses setuptools' dynamic discovery of services and plugins feature to locate and run your code. Define your plugin's entry point in setup.py. The group name to use is "adventofcode.user":

# setup.py
from setuptools import setup

setup(
    ...
    entry_points={"adventofcode.user": ["myusername = mypackage:mysolve"]},
)

Change mypackage to whatever package or module name is used to import your stuff. The name mysolve should resolve to a callable in your package's namespace which accepts three named arguments year, day, data (any order ok) and returns two values, e.g.:

def mysolve(year, day, data):
    ...
    return part_a_answer, part_b_answer

Inside the entry-point you can do whatever you need in order to delegate to your code. For example, write out data to a scratch file then run a script, or import a function and just pass in the data directly as an argument. The only requirement is that this entry-point should return a tuple of two values, with the answers for that day's puzzle, the rest is up to you. You could fork this repo and edit it, or just write your own plugin manually.
