+# Two Fer
+
+`Two-fer` or `2-fer` is short for two for one. One for you and one for me.
+
+Given a name, return a string with the message:
+
+```text
+One for X, one for me.
+```
+
+Where X is the given name.
+
+However, if the name is missing, return the string:
+
+```text
+One for you, one for me.
+```
+
+Here are some examples:
+
+|Name    |String to return
+|:-------|:------------------
+|Alice   |One for Alice, one for me.
+|Bob     |One for Bob, one for me.
+|        |One for you, one for me.
+|Zaphod  |One for Zaphod, one for me.
+
+## Exception messages
+
+Sometimes it is necessary to raise an exception. When you do this, you should include a meaningful error message to
+indicate what the source of the error is. This makes your code more readable and helps significantly with debugging. Not
+every exercise will require you to raise an exception, but for those that do, the tests will only pass if you include
+a message.
+
+To raise a message with an exception, just write it as an argument to the exception type. For example, instead of
+`raise Exception`, you should write:
+
+```python
+raise Exception("Meaningful message indicating the source of the error")
+```
+
+## Running the tests
+
+To run the tests, run `pytest two_fer_test.py`
+
+Alternatively, you can tell Python to run the pytest module:
+`python -m pytest two_fer_test.py`
+
+### Common `pytest` options
+
+- `-v` : enable verbose output
+- `-x` : stop running tests on first failure
+- `--ff` : run failures from previous test before running other test cases
+
+For other options, see `python -m pytest -h`
+
+## Submitting Exercises
+
+Note that, when trying to submit an exercise, make sure the solution is in the `$EXERCISM_WORKSPACE/python/two-fer` directory.
+
+You can find your Exercism workspace by running `exercism debug` and looking for the line that starts with `Workspace`.
+
+For more detailed information about running tests, code style and linting,
+please see [Running the Tests](http://exercism.io/tracks/python/tests).

+## Submitting Incomplete Solutions
+
+It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
