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.

Standalone executables

Creating standalone executables is a commonly overlooked topic in materials that cover packaging of Python code. This is mainly because Python lacks proper tools in its standard library that could allow programmers to create simple executables that could be run by users without the need to install the Python interpreter.

Compiled languages have a big advantage over Python in that they allow you to create an executable application for the given system architecture that could be run by users in a way that does not require from them any knowledge of the underlying technology. Python code, when distributed as a package, requires the Python interpreter in order to be run. This creates a big inconvenience for users who do not have enough technical proficiency.

Developer-friendly operating systems, such as macOS or most Linux distributions, come with Python interpreter...
