Змеелов (Snake Catcher)

hackerlab

Task: a Python file is one triple-quoted ASCII-art snake built from 168 tokens of form [PYTHON]{2}[0-9]. Solution: the title Змеелов points to Serpent encoding — each token maps to a byte via a 32-symbol letter-pair alphabet plus 32*digit, yielding a Python 2.7 .pyc whose string constant is the flag (readable with strings).
