Does your company have an individual training budget that expires at the end of year? 💸
If you use #Python at work, sign up for the @PythonMorsels All Access plan and submit your training reimbursement before year end. 🐍💼

New blog post: What's great about #Python 3.10?
There's some fun new features, but improved error messages are *the* winning Python 3.10 feature.

When we use keyword/named arguments, it's the name that matters, not the position

Our class instantiation syntax in Python is the same as our function call syntax.
Instead of "new SomeClass()" we write "SomeClass()".
Because of this we use the word "function" in a fuzzy way: "function" is often used to mean "callable".

A callable is an object that you can call. Functions are callables in #Python, but so are classes (many of the "built-in functions" are actually classes).

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.

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.

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.

What is a list comprehension in #Python? What are they used for and how are they different from a for loop?

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.

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

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.

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

When you import a module in #Python, you'll get access to a module object with attributes representing each of the variables in that module.

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.

Classes, modules, and functions are all mutable objects in #Python 🤯

In #Python, everything is an object.
Classes are objects. Modules are objects. Functions are objects. In fact, they're all mutable objects!

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")
