Synopsis

What You Will Learn in This Book

• Master the fundamentals of Python code organization, understanding why a structured approach is crucial for readability, maintainability, reusability, and collaborative development.
• Effectively utilize Python modules to break down large programs, reuse code, and manage namespaces, along with best practices for their creation and design.
• Implement Python packages to structure larger projects hierarchically, avoiding naming conflicts and streamlining complex application development.
• Navigate Python's module search path (sys.path) to ensure your custom modules and packages are correctly discovered and imported.
• Apply best practices for writing clean, maintainable modules and packages, including naming conventions, docstrings, minimizing side effects, and avoiding common pitfalls like circular imports.
• Leverage key standard library modules to efficiently handle common programming tasks, from file system interactions to data manipulation and more.
• Differentiate between absolute and relative imports, understanding when and how to use each for clear and robust package importing.
• Optimize the use of __init__.py files for package initialization, API exposure, and internal module aggregation.
• Create and manage isolated Python environments using venv or conda to prevent dependency conflicts and ensure project reproducibility.
• Manage project dependencies effectively using pip and requirements.txt files, and gain an introduction to modern tools like pyproject.toml.
• Design and implement common project structures for various Python applications, including web applications, data science projects, and libraries.
• Build installable Python packages using setuptools and pyproject.toml, preparing your code for wider distribution.
• Publish your Python packages to PyPI, making your creations easily accessible to others in the Python community.
• Identify and avoid common anti-patterns in code organization, leading to more robust and scalable applications.
• Integrate code quality tools such as linters, formatters, and import sorters into your development workflow for consistent and high-quality code.
