When we use keyword/named arguments, it's the name that matters, not the position Read the full article: Keyword (Named) Arguments in Python: How to Use Them ▸ trey.io/U92hu3 #Python

In #Python, you can pass function objects as an argument to another function. In fact, some of the built-in functions, like sorted, specifically accept functions as an argument. pythonmorsels.com/topics/passing…

You can break up long lines of #Python code with implicit line continuation. PEP 8 recommends relying on implicit line continuation instead of putting a \ at the end of lines to continue them. pythonmorsels.com/topics/breakin…

If you're new to list comprehensions in #Python, I recommend writing your comprehensions by copy-pasting your way from a "for" loop. This way you can anchor your understanding of comprehensions on your existing knowledge of "for" loops. pythonmorsels.com/topics/turning…

Something folks often ask me in my Python trainings: are immutable objects the same as constants? 🤔 They're not! 😮 Immutable objects stop you from mutating an object but constants stop you from assigning to a variable (remember: variables are pointers in Python). 🐍🍪

We have immutable objects in Python but we don't have constant variables. The UPPERCASE_CONVENTION for constants is just a naming convention in #Python. It doesn't stop variables from being re-assigned. pythonmorsels.com/topics/python-…

Need an attribute that updates its value automatically? Use a property! In the #Python world, we tend to prefer properties over getter methods. pythonmorsels.com/topics/making-…

Checking an object's truthiness checks for non-emptiness and non-zero-ness. FYI: the #Python docs don't mention "truthy" or "falsey" even once. The docs call it "truth value testing" but Pythonistas rarely use that phrase colloquially. pythonmorsels.com/topics/truthin…

Instead of using hard-coded indices to get tuple elements, use tuple unpacking to give descriptive names to each item. Important items should have a name instead of a number. #Python pythonmorsels.com/topics/tuple-u…

Parentheses in #Python's class & function definitions mean different things In a function definition, parentheses after the name denote the functions' arguments. In a class definition, parentheses after the name denote the class' parent classes. pythonmorsels.com/topics/inherit…

The first method you'll see in most #Python classes is the init method. This isn't a constructor method but an initializer method (because by the time init is called, a new class instance has already been "constructed") pythonmorsels.com/topics/what-is…
