Mô tả
I recently rewrote the Python version of this exercise based on [canonical data 1.0.0](https://github.com/exercism/problem-specifications/blob/master/exercises/pythagorean-triplet/canonical-data.json).
I wanted to update that the trivial solution for finding triplets in a range by brute force takes a very long time on the latest tests (for example [this](https://github.com/ThomasZumsteg/exercism-python/blob/master/pythagorean-triplet/pythagorean_triplet.py)). Almost all solutions I saw used this method and will not finish in reasonable time (if at all). I think it would be difficult for people to find an efficient solution by themselves. Perhaps a hint should be given?
The previous `example.py` would not handle these tests as well. The new [`example.py` ](https://github.com/exercism/python/blob/master/exercises/pythagorean-triplet/example.py) solves the tests quickly. It generates triplets in range efficiently by building triplets from multiples of primitive triplets.
Overall I think the new tests make the exercise more interesting. However, I think it would be difficult for people to come up with an efficient enough solution to pass them in reasonable time. I would be happy to hear what others think.
