Are you interested in writing usage examples for your code that work as documentation and test cases simultaneously? If your answer is yes, then Python’s doctest module is for you. This module provides a testing framework that doesn’t have too steep a learning curve. It’ll allow you to use code examples for two purposes: documenting and testing your code. Apart from allowing you to use your code’s documentation for testing the code itself, doctest will help you keep your code […]

I’ve been programming for about 20 years now, and my “aha moment” with python came to me last night.

As you code, you might have a coworker, or friend, or a little voice in your head, reminding you of Knuth’s famous saying: “premature optimization is the root of all evil.” But what makes an optimization premature, anyway? The short answer is that this aphorism is a tautology. “Premature” means “too early,” so we can rephrase the point as “doing things at the wrong time isn’t ideal.” Can’t argue with that! The problem with this saying is that many people […]
