+# Spiral Matrix
+
+
+Given the size, return a square matrix of numbers in spiral order.
+
+The matrix should be filled with natural numbers, starting from 1
+in the top-left corner, increasing in an inward, clockwise spiral order,
+like these examples:
+
+##### Spiral matrix of size 3
+
+```plain
+1 2 3
+8 9 4
+7 6 5
+```
+
+##### Spiral matrix of size 4
+
+```plain
+ 1  2  3 4
+12 13 14 5
+11 16 15 6
+10  9  8 7
+```
+
+## Submitting Exercises
+
+Note that, when trying to submit an exercise, make sure the solution is in the `exercism/python/<exerciseName>` directory.
+
+For example, if you're submitting `bob.py` for the Bob exercise, the submit command would be something like `exercism submit <path_to_exercism_dir>/python/bob/bob.py`.
+
+For more detailed information about running tests, code style and linting,
+please see the [help page](http://exercism.io/languages/python).
