Transforming Code into Beautiful, Idiomatic Python

Must watch: [VIDEO] I believe that the list comprehension will be faster than filter, but as always, any time you replace readable code with unreadable code for performance reasons, you damn well better time it.

I've never heard of Raymond Hettinger before but I'm currently watching one of his videos [1] and it's amazing. Thanks for sharing your list, I'll definitely look up some more of these people. [1] [VIDEO]

Your mention of simple and clean code makes me think of the excellent talk "Transforming Code into Beautiful, Idiomatic Python". Although it relates to Python programming, if the ideas and principles (and thoughtfulness and pace) from it could be applied to much more written code, then (I think) we as an industry and all our users would be in a better place.

Great suggestion. Just searched for him on youtube and a couple of excellent looking talks popped up. Halfway through and this one seems great so far: [VIDEO] Really enjoy his style as well :)

Check out Raymond Hettingers Transforming Code into Beautiful, Idiomatic Python talk on youtube [1]. Great talk on avoiding some of the common pitfalls new python developers step in. Exposes some nice language features. [1]: [VIDEO]

If you were underwhelmed by this blog post have a look at: Transforming code into Beautiful, Idiomatic Python by Raymond Hettinger at PyCon 2013 [LINK] and [VIDEO] Topics include: 'looping' with iterators to avoid creating new lists, dictionaries, named tuples and more

Raymond Hettinger's talks are great. I know it's not a succint blog post, but they are out there are watching a video is very approachable. Maybe [LINK] (Dataclasses! We could cheekily say Python gets better at something Rust does - dataclasses makes Python better at records.) And [LINK] This talk (2013): [VIDEO] Unfortunately this video is now a bit out of touch with modern Python. Another (2013) classic: [LINK] it is very well known, and it has the very memorable advice: what's a class that only has one method? That should be a function!

These are a few videos which present Pythonic style. They do not form a proper curriculum, but they are example-heavy and give a good insight to a very Pythonic mind. 1. Beyond PEP 8 [LINK] 2. Transforming Code into Beautiful, Idiomatic Python [VIDEO]
