Series: Python tricks - Githubissues

krmaxwell commented 9 years ago

These might not all go in one post. But since our PyCon 2015 talk didn't get accepted, I might as well blog about some of the stuff.

[x] collections.Counter
[x] list comprehensions
[x] dict.get / .setdefault / defaultdict
[ ] IPython
[ ] requests instead of urllib2
[ ] grequests or https://github.com/ross/requests-futures for multiple parallel requests
[ ] substr in string instead of regexes (when substr is just characters)
[ ] with open(filename, 'rb') as f: (contexts)
[x] correct usage of mkstemp and mkdtemp
[ ] String literals
[ ] Testing / importing with C modules
[ ] Tuple "expansion" with singletons (http://stackoverflow.com/a/8538676/1569808)
[ ] Boltons
