Overview of this book

Python is a multipurpose language that can be used for multiple use cases. Python for Geeks will teach you how to advance in your career with the help of expert tips and tricks. You'll start by exploring the different ways of using Python optimally, both from the design and implementation point of view. Next, you'll understand the life cycle of a large-scale Python project. As you advance, you'll focus on different ways of creating an elegant design by modularizing a Python project and learn best practices and design patterns for using Python. You'll also discover how to scale out Python beyond a single thread and how to implement multiprocessing and multithreading in Python. In addition to this, you'll understand how you can not only use Python to deploy on a single machine but also use clusters in private as well as in public cloud computing environments. You'll then explore data processing techniques, focus on reusable, scalable data pipelines, and learn how to use these advanced techniques for network automation, serverless functions, and machine learning. Finally, you'll focus on strategizing web development design using the techniques and best practices covered in the book. By the end of this Python book, you'll be able to do some serious Python programming for large-scale complex projects.

Introducing Python data containers

Python supports several data types, both numeric as well as collections. Defining numeric data types such as integers and floating-point numbers is based on assigning a value to a variable. The value we assign to a variable determines the type of the numeric data type. Note that a specific constructor (for example, int() and float()) can also be used to create a variable of a specific data type. Container data types can also be defined either by assigning values in an appropriate format or by using a specific constructor for each collection data type. We will study five different container data types in this section: strings, lists, tuples, dictionaries, and sets.

Strings

Strings are not directly a container data type. But it is important to discuss the string data type because of its wide use in Python programming and also the fact that the string data type is implemented using an immutable sequence of Unicode code points. The fact that it...
