Posting solutions to Coursera assignments goes against the Coursera honor code.

> You may not share your solutions to homework, quizzes, or exams with anyone else unless explicitly permitted by the instructor.

I don't think he's providing the solutions, is he? Just offering an alternative for people, to submit their homeworks using Python instead of Octave.

These are rewrites of the solutions, from Octave to Python. As such no material rules are being broken here.

Massive props to the publisher of these. For science!

How exactly does the fact that these solutions are rewritten in python indemnify the author from this?

Rewrite mate. That's how. These are not answers, concrete solutions to the homework, to the quizzes in the designated language as they are to be submitted.

Besides that part of the honour code just sucks.

To don't share a solution goes against my ethical moral code. Sorry.

this isn't a "solution" in the sense of solving a problem that people use to build upon or share to help others not deal with that problem, rather its an essential part of the educational process of a course to derive the answers yourself to actually learn the material

there is a big difference

These are not solutions, these are assignments

These are python converted exercises not solutions.
