Python Code Snippets

[Aurélien Géron]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can find a lot of Python code snippets?

I searched the Python wiki and Internet but could not find more than five or
ten code snippets at a time.

I'm looking for a kind of organized list (GUI snippets, database access
snippets, I/O snippets, etc.). I find that there's no better way to learn a
language than to be able to cut&paste actual working bits of code.

Thanks,
Aurélien

Or you might want to just look around here. In this
newsgroup/mailing-list one gets to see really lots of nice code.

One that I would nominate as the best test for measuring a hard-core
python programmer would be to explain the following code without the
context :)

Once I understood the above, I beleive I will write python in my Resume...

What was this about "One simple obvious way doing it"? ;)

Hey thanks !
I wish it had a better ordering than just a list, but it's full of good
stuff.

You can always buy the book. It has both an index and a table of contents.

Obviously, this is just what people mean by "syntactic sugar."

Hi,
As well as the excellent resources others have mentioned, I'd
definately recommend investigating the Python source distribution, if
you haven't already. The joy of working with an Open Source language
is that there's no problem if you want to look at some decent code:

The Lib and Demo directories provide examples from the simple to the
not-so-simple in a variety of application domains.

The Objects and Include directories provide good examples of using the
Python-C API. Seeing how the objects are created under the hood has
increased my understanding of how Python works, and the quality of my
C extensions.

I'd also say the online Cookbook has a reasonable search facility, and
lists of recipies from different areas, so it is relatively easy to
find a particular code snippet.

HTH,
Paul

IMO not ideally suited to learning the language, but an
invaluable compendium of idioms and advanced topics

Sample chapter available at

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pythoncook/

Other multi-language code samples repositories I know of:

http://sourceforge.net/snippet/

and

http://pleac.sourceforge.net/

CHeers,

Bernard.

They're working on useless 2, with categories.
