It’s effortless to begin coding with Python, that is why the language is so well known. although, Python’s exact strengths, charms, and expressiveness might be demanding to know, and there are hidden pitfalls that may simply journey you up.
Effective Python may also help you grasp a very “Pythonic” method of programming, harnessing Python’s complete energy to write down awfully strong and well-performing code. utilizing the concise, scenario-driven variety pioneered in Scott Meyers’ best-selling Effective C++, Brett Slatkin brings jointly fifty nine Python most sensible practices, advice, and shortcuts, and explains them with real looking code examples.
Drawing on years of expertise development Python infrastructure at Google, Slatkin uncovers little-known quirks and idioms that powerfully influence code habit and function. You’ll study tips on how to accomplish key initiatives, so that you can write code that’s more uncomplicated to appreciate, continue, and improve.

Sample text
If count is passed, the first count oc‐ currences are replaced. join(x). splitlines([keepends]) Splits string S on line breaks, returning lines list. The result does not retain line break characters unless keepends is true. format_map(mapping) See section “String formatting”. format(**M), but M is not copied. capitalize() Capitalizes the first character of string S, and lowercases its other characters. expandtabs([tabsize]) Replaces tabs in string S with tabsize spaces (default is 8). strip([chars]) Removes leading and trailing whitespace from string S (or characters in chars if passed).
L = list('spam') Creates a list of all items in any iterable, by calling the type constructor function. L = [x ** 2 for x in range(9)] Creates a list by collecting expression results during itera‐ tion (list comprehension). append(X) Inserts the single object X at the end of L, changing the list in-place. extend(I) Inserts each item in any iterable I at the end of L in-place (like an in-place +). Similar to L[len(L):] = I. Hint: use L[:0] = I to prepend all items in I. sort(key=None, reverse=False) Sorts L in-place, in ascending order by default.
The re‐ sult of 'a' + u'bc' is u'abc'). S. ASCII data (and raise an error for non-ASCII characters). The built-in str() and unicode() func‐ tions can be used to convert between normal and Unicode strings, and the encode() and decode() string methods apply and undo Unicode encodings. X’s built-in open() function files. Lists Lists are mutable (changeable) sequences of object references ac‐ cessed by offset (position). Literals and creation List literals are written as a comma-separated series of values en‐ closed in square brackets, and various operations construct lists dynamically: 46 | Python Pocket Reference [] An empty list.
