Last week's code challenge focused on building a simple API using Django REST Framework, and submissions were merged into the Community branch under Challenge 34. One notable submission by bbelderbos created an API for adding coding tips, inspired by @python_tip and following a tutorial from the Django REST Framework. The challenge remains open-ended, allowing for additional submissions to be included over time as participants contribute their work. The article encourages continued participation and hints at upcoming challenges, inviting the community to keep engaging with Python coding activities.
