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

Pro Tips
๐ฏ Virtual Environments
Always use venv or conda to isolate project dependencies
๐ Type Hints
Add type hints to make your code self-documenting and catch bugs early
๐งช Test Everything
Use pytest for unit tests - aim for 80%+ code coverage
โก Async When Needed
Use async/await for I/O-bound operations to improve performance
