Updated and Expanded for Python 3 It's easy to start developing
programs with Python, which is why the language is so popular.
However, Python's unique strengths, charms, and expressiveness can
be hard to grasp, and there are hidden pitfalls that can easily
trip you up. This second edition of Effective Python will help you
master a truly "Pythonic" approach to programming, harnessing
Python's full power to write exceptionally robust and
well-performing code. Using the concise, scenario-driven style
pioneered in Scott Meyers' best-selling Effective C++, Brett
Slatkin brings together 90 Python best practices, tips, and
shortcuts, and explains them with realistic code examples so that
you can embrace Python with confidence. Drawing on years of
experience building Python infrastructure at Google, Slatkin
uncovers little-known quirks and idioms that powerfully impact code
behavior and performance. You'll understand the best way to
accomplish key tasks so you can write code that's easier to
understand, maintain, and improve. In addition to even more advice,
this new edition substantially revises all items from the first
edition to reflect how best practices have evolved. Key features
include 30 new actionable guidelines for all major areas of Python
Detailed explanations and examples of statements, expressions, and
built-in types Best practices for writing functions that clarify
intention, promote reuse, and avoid bugs Better techniques and
idioms for using comprehensions and generator functions Coverage of
how to accurately express behaviors with classes and interfaces
Guidance on how to avoid pitfalls with metaclasses and dynamic
attributes More efficient and clear approaches to concurrency and
parallelism Solutions for optimizing and hardening to maximize
performance and quality Techniques and built-in modules that aid in
debugging and testing Tools and best practices for collaborative
development Effective Python will prepare growing programmers to
make a big impact using Python.
