Here's some more: * https://dabeaz-course.github.io/practical-python/Notes/Conte... by David Beazley --> covers foundational aspects of Python programming with an emphasis on script writing, data manipulation, and program organization * https://python-patterns.guide/ by Brandon Rhodes --> inspired from Gang of Four book * https://github.com/satwikkansal/wtfpython (this is more of a collection) --> Exploring and understanding Python through surprising snippets Also, my ebook Python re(gex)? covering re and regex modules is free to read online: https://learnbyexample.github.io/py_regular_expressions/ (pdf/epub is paid, available via leanpub/gumroad)

> It's the combination of a really wide range of skill and a really big difficulty assessing that skill from just the resume. If you know what skills you are looking for (hint: lots of companies and recruiters don't), this is not actually that hard. For every skill, there are questions that should be really easy to answer for everybody with expertise, but are suprising/hard to answer for everybody who pretends to have knowledge. This enables you to check quite quickly whether the claimed skills are actually there or not. For example, the easier sections in > https://github.com/satwikkansal/wtfpython might give you a hint for topics that most seasoned Python programmers should know blindfolded while they are probably rather surprising for anybody with shallow Python knowledge. Let the applicant explain how they came up with their solution

There's a repo dedicated for such snippets: https://github.com/satwikkansal/wtfpython

I'm not so sure. A couple times I've shown WTFpython [0] to a co-worker, who after spending a bit of time skimming through it mentions that they finally understand a bug they had when they were learning python. And which entry it is is usually different between them. [0] https://github.com/satwikkansal/wtfpython

This repo may be helpful to you: https://github.com/satwikkansal/wtfpython It’s a collection of snippets to explain behaviors that may be considered unexpected.

>>> row = [""] * 3 #row i['', '', ''] >>> board = [row] * 3 >>> board[0][0] = "X" >>> board [['X', '', ''], ['X', '', ''], ['X', '', '']] I almost felt helpless for an hour when I used this list initialization [0] the first time in my code and couldn't find the reason why my unit tests where failing.
