Python: Key Notes

4:08 pm on March 4th, 2010 | General

Level: Beginner – Intermediate

Some of the key concepts that I’m taking down as notes, while I was brush up my Python. I’ll keep updating this page as I move along.

  • Immutability of Strings
  • To find methods available with a specific object: dir(objectName)
  • Pattern matching: import re
  • Python (nested)lists → (multi-dimensional)arrays in other programming languages
  • Python Dictionaries → Java HashMap but more awesome, minus the java craziness.
  • Iteration Protocol
  • Tuples → Immutable Lists [ Ex: T=(1,2,3,4) ] Concatenation, indexing, slicing,etc., works.
