How to be pythonic

pythonic.md

To answer "getting a better understanding of python", I feel strongly that

• Start by sticking to standard tools and libraries (https://packaging.python.org/current/)

• Reading and understand The Google Python Standards Guide (https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html),

• Trying to be true to The Zen of Python (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/)

• Be Pythonic (basically the same as "The Zen of Python"), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf-BqAjZb8M

• Supplement your problem-space with tips from The Hitchhikers Guid to Python (http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/)

• Be preapred to package your code (https://packaging.python.org/distributing/ (Doc), https://github.com/pypa/sampleproject/ (Example))

• Being prepared to debug someone else's code [Your own code first]

  With tools like

  • pdb (> pp variable),
  • help(variable),
  • dir(variable),
  • and pprint.pprint( variable.__dict__ )
