Subtitled 90 Specific Ways to Write Better Python this book aims to show a truly “Pythonic” approach to programming, harnessing Python’s full power to write exceptionally robust and well-performing code. Using a concise, scenario-driven style, author Brett Slatkin brings together 90 Python best practices, tips, and shortcuts, and explains them with realistic code examples. Drawing on years of experience building Python infrastructure at Google, he uncovers little-known quirks and idioms that powerfully impact code behavior and performance. This new edition substantially revises all items from the first edition to reflect how best practices have evolved.
