Clarification on Code Submission Format for Problem C

Dear ICCAD 2026 Contest Organizing Committee,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am currently participating in the ICCAD 2026 Contest and working on Problem C. I would like to clarify the required code submission format for this problem.

Since Problem C is implemented in Python, I noticed that the FAQ states the following:

Q13: What programming languages can we use?
A13: Basically, the contestants can freely use any programming language unless there is a limitation in the problem description. However, the contestants themselves must make sure their binary codes can run on our test machines.

Q8: What needs to be submitted for each problem?
A8: Basically, the contestants should upload two files: (1) a binary executable file; and (2) a README file describing how to run the program. However, depending on the problems, additional files may be required for evaluation.

Based on this, I would like to ask whether we are expected to convert or package the Python implementation into a binary executable file for submission.

If a binary executable is required, could you please clarify whether the input/output interface should follow the same format as the solver-calling method provided in the Problem C repository?

Alternatively, would it be acceptable to submit the Python source code together with a requirements.txt file and a README.md file explaining how to run the program?

Thank you very much for your time and clarification.
