It’s just that it often makes sense to write code in the order JOIN / WHERE / GROUP BY / HAVING. (I’ll often put a WHERE first to improve performance though, and I think most database engines will also do a WHERE first in practice)

Passlib mitigates this by limiting the maximum password size to 4k by default.

Which works fine, but make you use lambda. You could rather use the operator module:import operator mylist = list(zip(range(40, 240), range(-100, 100))) sorted(mylist, key=operator.itemgetter(1))

the __ methods allow us to interact with core concepts of the python language. You can see them also as a mechanism of implementing behaviours, interface methods.

Dunder or magic method, are methods that start and end with double _ like __init__ or __str__. This kind of methods are the mechanism we use to interact directly with python's data model

use pyenv. With it, you will be able to have any version you want at your disposal, very easy.

Another common component to profile is the memory usage. The purpose is to find memory leaks and optimize the memory usage in your Python programs

The profile module gives similar results with similar commands. Typically, you switch to profile if cProfile isn’t available

Line profiling, as the name suggests, means to profile your Python code line by line

If a method has an acceptable speed but is so frequently called that it becomes a huge time sink, you would want to know this from your profiler

method profiling tool like cProfile (which is available in the Python language), the timing metrics for methods can show you statistics, such as the number of calls (shown as ncalls), total time spent in the function (tottime), time per call (tottime/ncalls and shown as percall), cumulative time spent in a function (cumtime), and cumulative time per call (quotient of cumtime over the number of primitive calls and shown as percall after cumtime)

what parts of the software do we profile (measure its performance metrics)

its purpose is to dump Python tracebacks explicitly on a fault, after a timeout, or on a user signal

The purpose of trace module is to “monitor which statements and functions are executed as a program runs to produce coverage and call-graph information

trace and faulthandler modules cover basic tracing

tracing is a special use case of logging in order to record information about a program’s execution

ascii letters, digits or underscores

sequences generated through peephole optimization are discarded if their length is superior to 20

'a' * 21 # remains in the byte code where as

string subclasses cannot be interned

class NewString(str):
   pass
assert NewString('f') is 'f'

f = 'f'
assert f is 'f'

strings can be compared by a O(1) pointer comparison instead of a O(n) byte-per-byte comparison

// compare pointers

   return True

// compare values
for i, v in enumerate(self._value):
   if v != value[i]:

On 10 April, astrophysicists announced that they had captured the first ever image of a black hole. This was exhilarating news, but none of the giddy headlines mentioned that the image would have been impossible without open-source software. The image was created using Matplotlib, a Python library for graphing data, as well as other components of the open-source Python ecosystem. Just five days later, the US National Science Foundation (NSF) rejected a grant proposal to support that ecosystem, saying that the software lacked sufficient impact.

Let’s say you have a list in Python: >>> mylist = [10, 20, 30] You want to add something to that list. The most standard way to do this is with the “append” method, which adds its argument to the end of the list: >>> mylist.append(40) >>> print(mylist) [10, 20, 30, 40] But what if you want to add multiple items to a list? If you’re new to Python, then you might think that you can and should use a “for” loop. For example: >>> mylist = [10, 20, 30] >>> new_items = [40, 50, 60] >>> for one_item in new_items: mylist.append(one_item) >>> print(mylist) [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60] Great, right? But it turns out that there is a smarter and faster way to do this. You can use the += operator. This operator, which invokes the “iadd” (“inplace add”) method on the object to its left, effectively does what we did above, but in much less code: >>> mylist = [10, 20, 30] >>> new_items = [40, 50, 60] >>> mylist += new_items >>> print(mylist) [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60] It’s not a huge surprise that += can do this. After all, we normally expect += to add and assign to the variable on its left; it works with numbers and strings, as well as other types. And we know that we can use the + operator on lists, too: >>> [1, 2, 3] + [4, 5, 6] [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] Can we join a list and a tuple? Let’s check: >>> mylist = [10, 20, 30] >>> t = (40, 50, 60) >>> mylist + t Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "tuple") to list In other words: No. Trying to add a list and a tuple, even if we’re not affecting either, results in the above error. Which is why it’s so surprising to many of my students that the following does work: >>> mylist = [10, 20, 30] >>> t = (40, 50, 60) >>> mylist += t >>> mylist [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60] That’s right: Adding a list to a tuple with + doesn’t work. But if we use +=, it does. What gives? It’s common, when teaching Python, to say that x += 5 is basically a rewrite of x = x + 5 And in the majority of cases, that’s actually true. But it’s not always true. Consider: When you say “x + y” in Python, the “+” operator is translated into a method call. Behind the scenes, no matter what “x” and “y” are, the expression is translated into: x.__add__(y) The “__add__” magic method is what’s invoked on an object when it is added to another object. The object on the right-hand side of the “+” is passed as an argument to the method, while the object on the left-hand side is the recipient of the method call. That’s why, if you want your own objects to handle the “+” operator, you need to define the “__add__” method in your class definition. Do that, and things work just fine. And thus, when we say “x = x + 5”, this is turned into x = x.__add__(5) Meaning: First invoke the method, and then assign it back to the variable “x”. In this case, “x” isn’t changing; rather, the variable is now referencing a new object. Now consider the “+=” operator: It’s translated by Python into “__iadd__”, short for “inplace add.” Notice the slightly different syntax that we use here: x += y is translated into x.__iadd__(y) Did you see the difference between __add__ and __iadd__? The latter executes the assignment all by itself, internally. You don’t have to capture its output and assign it back to x. It turns out that the implementation of list.__iadd__ takes the second (right-hand side) argument and adds it, one element at a time, to the list. It does this internally, so that you don’t need to execute any assignment after. The second argument to “+=” must be iterable; if you say mylist += 5 you will get an error, saying that integers are not iterable. But if you put a string, list, tuple, or any other iterable type on the right-hand side, “+=” will execute a “for” loop on that object, adding each of its elements, one at a time, to the list. In other words: When you use + on a list, then the right-hand object must be a list. But when you use +=, then any iterable type is acceptable: >>> mylist = [10, 20, 30] >>> mylist += [40, 50] # list >>> mylist [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] >>> mylist += (60, 70) # tuple >>> mylist [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70] >>> mylist += 'abc' # string >>> mylist [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 'a', 'b', 'c'] >>> mylist += {'x':1, 'y':2, 'z':3} # dict! >>> mylist [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 'a', 'b', 'c', 'x', 'y', 'z'] Does this work with other types? Not really. For example: >>> t = (10, 20, 30) >>> t += [40, 50] Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in TypeError: can only concatenate tuple (not "list") to tuple What happened here? Let’s check the definition of tuple.__iadd__ to find out: >>> help(tuple.__iadd__) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in AttributeError: type object 'tuple' has no attribute '__iadd__' Wait a second: There is no “__iadd__” method for tuples? If so, then how can “+=” work at all? Because Python tries to be smart in such cases: If the object implements “__iadd__”, then the “+=” operator invokes it. But if the object lacks an “__iadd__” implementation, then Python does what we all guess it normally does — namely, invoke “__add__”, and then assign the results back to the variable. For example: >>> class Foo(object): def __init__(self, x): self.x = x def __add__(self, other): print("In __add__") return Foo(self.x + other.x) >>> f1 = Foo(10) >>> f2 = Foo(20) >>> f1 += f2 In __add__ >>> vars(f1) {'x': 30} In other words, Python notices that our Foo class lacks an implementation of “__iadd__”, and substitutes “__add__” for it, assigning its result (a new instance of Foo) to the original variable.

In Python, as well as in any other object-oriented programming language, we define a class to be a description of what the data look like (the state) and what the data can do (the behavior). Classes are analogous to abstract data types because a user of a class only sees the state and behavior of a data item. Data items are called objects in the object-oriented paradigm. An object is an instance of a class.

In that case, you need an empty placeholder list that you can append items to individually.

Remember that a slicing tuple can always be constructed as obj and used in the x[obj] notation. Slice objects can be used in the construction in place of the [start:stop:step] notation. For example, x[1:10:5,::-1] can also be implemented as obj = (slice(1,10,5), slice(None,None,-1)); x[obj] . This can be useful for constructing generic code that works on arrays of arbitrary dimension.

I want Python to be more effective for large projects, without losing sight of its use for small projects and teaching. It’s quite a challenge; my current hope lies in PEP 484 and mypy, an approach to optional static typing (a.k.a. gradual typing). It’s super exciting. There are also other things happening in the community that make Python faster.

The rule of thumb is to avoid using more than two expressions in a list comprehension. This could be two conditions, two loops, or one condition and one loop. As soon as it gets more complicated than that, you should use normal if and for statements and write a helper function

Dictionaries and sets have their own equivalents of list comprehen-sions.

d = { "foo": "bar", "baz": "qux" }
r = {val: key for key, val in d.items()}
#=> { "bar": "foo", "qux": "baz" }

Unlike map, list comprehensions let you easily filter items from the input list, removing corresponding outputs from the result.

Beware that indexing a list by a negative variable is one of the few situations in which you can get surprising results from slicing. For example, the expression so melist[-n:] will work fine when n is greater than one (e.g., somelist[-3:]). However, when n is zero, the expression so melist[-0:] will result in a copy of the original list.

Slicing can be extended to any Python class that implements the__getitem__ and __setitem__ special methods

In a file, functions and classes should be separated by two blank lines.

The basic principle is that you patch where an object is looked up, which is not necessarily the same place as where it is defined. A couple of examples will help to clarify this.

Given we put the system in a known state before the user (or external system) starts interacting with the system (in the When steps). Avoid talking about user interaction in givens. When we take key actions the user (or external system) performs. This is the interaction with your system which should (or perhaps should not) cause some state to change. Then we observe outcomes.
