Python Best Practices

Code Style

  • Follow PEP 8 style guide
  • Use type hints for clarity
  • Write docstrings for functions
  • Keep functions small and focused

Project Structure

  • Use virtual environments
  • Organize with packages/modules
  • Create requirements.txt
  • Include README and tests

Performance

  • Profile before optimizing
  • Use built-in data structures
  • Consider async for I/O operations
  • Cache expensive computations

Security

  • Validate all user input
  • Use environment variables for secrets
  • Keep dependencies updated
  • Follow OWASP guidelines

Quick Start Templates

๐ŸŒ Web API

FastAPI with async support, auto-documentation, and type validation

"Create a Python REST API for a todo app with FastAPI"

๐Ÿ“Š Data Dashboard

Interactive data visualization with Streamlit or Dash

"Build a sales dashboard with Python and Plotly"

๐Ÿค– Automation Script

Automate repetitive tasks with scheduling and notifications

"Create a Python script to backup files daily"

๐Ÿง  ML Model

Pro Tips

๐ŸŽฏ Virtual Environments

Always use venv or conda to isolate project dependencies

๐Ÿ“ Type Hints

Add type hints to make your code self-documenting and catch bugs early

๐Ÿงช Test Everything

Use pytest for unit tests - aim for 80%+ code coverage

โšก Async When Needed

Use async/await for I/O-bound operations to improve performance
