    Code clones are fragments of code that are duplicated in the codebase of an application. They create problems with maintainability, duplicate buggy code, and increase the size of the repository. To combat these issues, there currently exists a multitude of programs to detect duplicated code segments. However, there are not many varieties of languages among the benchmarks for code clone detection tools. Without covering enough languages for modern software development, the development of code-clone detection tools remains stunted. This paper describes a novel tool that will take a seed of Python source code and generate Type 1, 2, and 3 code clones in Python. As one of the most used and rapidly-growing languages in modern software development, our testbed will provide the opportunity for Python code-clone detection tools to be developed and tested.
