Yes, if you need quick access to pre-computed Advent of Code solutions for reference, verification, or integration into other tools. The package is actively maintained, has no runtime dependencies, and works across major platforms. Install friction is moderate due to compiled wheels, but that is a one-time cost. Not suitable if you want to solve puzzles yourself.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

What it is and what it does
This package bundles pre-computed solutions to Advent of Code puzzles, implemented in Rust and exposed to Python via PyO3. It exports a single `solve(year, day, part, input)` function that takes a puzzle year, day, part number, and input string, then returns the answer as a string. It also provides a command-line interface (`advent-of-code-py`) for the same purpose.
The package is useful if you want to quickly retrieve answers without solving puzzles yourself, verify your own solutions, or integrate AoC answers into other tools. It has no runtime dependencies and is actively maintained. Installation uses pre-compiled wheels across major platforms with medium friction.
Use it for
- Look up solutions to Advent of Code puzzles without solving them manually
- Verify your own puzzle solutions against pre-computed answers
- Build tools or scripts that need quick access to AoC answers for reference or testing
- Use as a CLI tool to fetch answers directly from the command line
