Learn how to write idiomatic, effective Python code by leveraging its best features. Python's simplicity quickly lets you become productive with it, but this often means you aren't using everything the language has to offer. By taking you through Python's key language features and libraries, this practical book shows you how to make your code shorter, faster, and more readable all at the same time--what experts consider "Pythonic."Many programmers who learn Python basics fall into the trap of reinventing the wheel because of past experience in other languages, and try to bend the language to patterns that don't really apply to it., Author Luciano Ramalho, a Python Software Foundation member and Python programmer for 15 years, helps you drop your accent from another language so you can code Python fluently.Learn practical applications of generators for database processingRethink some design patterns in a Python contextExamine attribute descriptors and when to use them: the key to ORMsExplore Pythonic objects: protocols versus interfaces, abstract base classes and multiple inheritance

Reseña del editor

Python’s simplicity lets you become productive quickly, but this often means you aren’t using everything it has to offer. With this hands-on guide, you’ll learn how to write effective, idiomatic Python code by leveraging its best—and possibly most neglected—features. Author Luciano Ramalho takes you through Python’s core language features and libraries, and shows you how to make your code shorter, faster, and more readable at the same time.

Many experienced programmers try to bend Python to fit patterns they learned from other languages, and never discover Python features outside of their experience. With this book, those Python programmers will thoroughly learn how to become proficient in Python 3.

This book covers:

• Python data model: understand how special methods are the key to the consistent behavior of objects
• Data structures: take full advantage of built-in types, and understand the text vs bytes duality in the Unicode age
• Functions as objects: view Python functions as first-class objects, and understand how this affects popular design patterns
• Object-oriented idioms: build classes by learning about references, mutability, interfaces, operator overloading, and multiple inheritance
• Control flow: leverage context managers, generators, coroutines, and concurrency with the concurrent.futures and asyncio packages
• Metaprogramming: understand how properties, attribute descriptors, class decorators, and metaclasses work
