In this chapter, we have covered a lot of interesting topics. In the first section, while setting up the environment for our application, you learned how to use the super new and popular tool pipenv
, which has become the recommend tool at python.org for creating virtual environments and also managing project dependencies.
You also learned the basic concepts of object-oriented programming, how to create custom actions for your command line tools, the basics about context managers which is a really powerful feature in the Python language, how to create enumerations in Python, and how to perform HTTP requests using Requests
, which is one of the most popular packages in the Python ecosystem.
Last but not the least, you learned how to use the pymongo

In the next chapter, we are going to switch gears and develop a complete, very functional web application using the excellent and very popular Django web framework!
