Introduction

The best way to learn Python is to write Python, but these guides will provide an excellent starting point for the library landscape, coding standards, and community. This is by no means comprehensive! Once this is in an actual repository I will gladly accept relevant modifications.

Guides

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Python!

"This opinionated guide exists to provide both novice and expert Python developers a best-practice handbook to the installation, configuration, and usage of Python on a daily basis."

# This is a nginx config snippet showing how to inherit an http header
# or defaulting it to a specific value. This is useful because it allows
# upstream load balancers to set specific headers, but if they're missing
# the app LB will know how to default it.

# This will inherit the previously set X-Scheme variable, or otherwise 
# default it to the current `$scheme`. Requires nginx 0.9.0+.
