Hey everyone — I was reading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Python: Code Style and thought these points are useful for writing truly Pythonic code. Some highlights:
• Be explicit. Avoid ambiguous or “black magic” code.
• One statement per line, avoid chaining or packing things that reduce clarity.
• Function signatures: use positional args when natural; keyword args when optional. Don’t overuse args/*kwargs.
• Use unpacking & generator expressions/comprehensions for readability and performance.
• Always use with open(...) for file operations — clean up automatically.
• Follow PEP 8; use tools like black, autopep8 etc. to keep your code consistent.
