The solutions that are stored in the package are only plain answers - not actual algorithmic solutions to each of the problems. I understand the concern, but in my opinion, if someone had a collection of solutions that were derived specifically from the answers derived from EulerPy, it would likely consist of just `print n`s (which shouldn't be impressive to anyone by any means). I apologize if my project has degraded the integrity of the Project Euler community.

Please don't apologize - I absolutely love what you've done here - I'm frequently in situations where I don't have good internet connectivity, but would love to spend time keeping my scripting skills sharp with PE - and now I can. I'd previously scraped the questions off of PE, but could never check my answers until I was back online - but now I can!

Your project is going to have a meaningful, and measurably beneficial impact on my life, and I'd like to say thank you very much for the hard work you've put into this wonderful tool!

Thanks for the kind words. It's fantastic to see people making use of my project!
No need to apologize. IMHO your project is great for the Project Euler community.
I don't think that's any better. Please consider removing them and leaving it to people to discover the answers themselves.
