In addition to the basics, it’s also important to familiarize yourself with Python best practices, tips, and tricks. These can help you write more efficient, readable, and Pythonic code. This lesson will introduce you to some of these techniques.
Pythonic code is a term used to describe code that effectively uses Python idioms and follows widely accepted Python coding conventions. Here are a few examples of Pythonic code:
Pythonic code
# Non-Pythonic squares = [] for i in range(10): squares.append(i * i) # Pythonic squares = [i * i for i in range(10)]
# Non-Pythonic def reverse_string(s): return s[::-1] # Pythonic from operator import itemgetter reverse_string = itemgetter(slice(None, None, -1))
PEP 8 is Python’s official style guide. It offers recommendations on how to format your code to make it more readable and consistent. Some recommendations include using 4 spaces per indentation level, limiting lines to a maximum of 79 characters, and using whitespace in a way that is visually clear.
