We've mentioned docstrings before, but now we will cover them in greater detail. Docstrings are triple-quoted strings that have special significance within Python. When used, they form the __doc__ attribute of an object. There are many examples of projects that don't use docstrings, but it is highly advised to incorporate docstrings into your projects. If you do use them, review PEP 257 -- Docstring Conventions (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/) to see how to do them right; a Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) is used to discuss changes to the Python language. Not following the guidelines is fine, as long as you're consistent within your code. However, if you try to use tools such as Docutils, you can have problems, as they expect the docstrings to be properly formatted; Docutils is a text processing system that converts plain text into formatted...

Overview of this book
Python is a cross-platform language used by organizations such as Google and NASA. It lets you work quickly and efficiently, allowing you to concentrate on your work rather than the language. Based on his personal experiences when learning to program, Learn Programming in Python with Cody Jackson provides a hands-on introduction to computer programming utilizing one of the most readable programming languages–Python. It aims to educate readers regarding software development as well as help experienced developers become familiar with the Python language, utilizing real-world lessons to help readers understand programming concepts quickly and easily.
The book starts with the basics of programming, and describes Python syntax while developing the skills to make complete programs. In the first part of the book, readers will be going through all the concepts with short and easy-to-understand code samples that will prepare them for the comprehensive application built in parts 2 and 3. The second part of the book will explore topics such as application requirements, building the application, testing, and documentation. It is here that you will get a solid understanding of building an end-to-end application in Python. The next part will show you how to complete your applications by converting text-based simulation into an interactive, graphical user interface, using a desktop GUI framework. After reading the book, you will be confident in developing a complete application in Python, from program design to documentation to deployment.
