Overview of this book

Python is a dynamic programming language that's used in a wide range of domains thanks to its simple yet powerful nature. Although writing Python code is easy, making it readable, reusable, and easy to maintain is challenging. Complete with best practices, useful tools, and standards implemented by professional Python developers, the third edition of Expert Python Programming will help you overcome this challenge. The book will start by taking you through the new features in Python 3.7. You'll then learn the advanced components of Python syntax, in addition to understanding how to apply concepts of various programming paradigms, including object-oriented programming, functional programming, and event-driven programming. This book will also guide you through learning the naming best practices, writing your own distributable Python packages, and getting up to speed with automated ways to deploy your software on remote servers. You’ll discover how to create useful Python extensions with C, C++, Cython, and CFFI. Furthermore, studying about code management tools, writing clear documentation, and exploring test-driven development will help you write clean code. By the end of the book, you will have become an expert in writing efficient and maintainable Python code.

Functional-style features of Python

Programming paradigm is a very important concept that allows us to classify different programming languages. Programming paradigm defines a specific way of thinking about language execution models (definition of how work takes place) or about the structure and organization of the code. There are many programming paradigms, but they are usually grouped into two main categories:

  • Imperative paradigms, in which the programmer is mostly concerned about the program state and the program itself is a definition of how the computer should manipulate its state to generate the expected result
  • Declarative paradigms, in which the programmer is concerned mostly about a formal definition of the problem or properties of the desired result and not defining how this result should be computed

Due to its execution model and omnipresent classes and objects, the...
