Python. Best Practices and Tools.

Python is a simple yet powerful language, which is why it is used in a variety of fields. Writing code in Python is easy, but making it readable, reusable, and maintainable can be challenging. The fourth edition of this book... is supplemented with best practices, useful tools, and standards employed by professional developers, which will help you not only overcome these difficulties but also master the latest features and advanced concepts of the language. The book starts with a light warm-up that will introduce you to the latest improvements in Python, elements of syntax, and useful tools that make development more efficient. Moreover, the initial chapters will assist programmers with experience in other languages to successfully integrate into the Python ecosystem. The following chapters are dedicated to common design patterns and programming methodologies such as event-driven programming, parallelism, and metaprogramming. You will also explore complex code examples and tackle substantive tasks, linking Python with C and C++ and creating extensions that combine the strengths of different languages. The final chapters discuss the complete application lifecycle after deployment. By the end of the book, you will have mastered the development of efficient and easily maintainable code in Python.
