Python Tricks You Can't Live Without
summary
Clear, actionable rules and the exact tools to use: code should have docstrings, follow the Zen of Python and PEP8, and avoid clever one liners; use Sublime linter plus pep8 and pylint to flag style and errors; install libraries with pip + virtualenv (virtualenvwrapper) and lock dependencies in requirements.txt; prefer standard library or PyPI packages like requests instead of reinventing the wheel; PyPI already hosts over 21,000 packages; package modules with proper relative and absolute imports so others can install and reuse them.
