Python Best Practices




Here are some best practices for developing with Python:

Follow the PEP 8 style guide for writing clean, consistent and readable code.

Use meaningful variable and function names, and use snake_case for variable and function names, and use CamelCase for class names.

Use the import statement to import modules instead of using from-import statements to avoid name clashes and to make it clear where a symbol is coming from.

Use the try-except block to handle exceptions gracefully, and to avoid crashing the program.

Use list comprehensions, generators, and other functional programming techniques to write more efficient and readable code.
