Robust Python: Write Clean and Maintainable Code (pdf)

Description

In this practical book, author Patrick Viafore shows you how to use Python’s type system to the max. You’ll look at user-defined types, such as classes and enums, and Python’s type hinting system. You’ll also learn how to make Python extensible and how to use a comprehensive testing strategy as a safety net. With these tips and techniques, you’ll write clearer and more maintainable code.

• Learn why types are essential in modern development ecosystems
• Understand how type choices such as classes, dictionaries, and enums reflect specific intents
• Make Python extensible for the future without adding bloat
• Use popular Python tools to increase the safety and robustness of your codebase
• Evaluate current code to detect common maintainability gotchas
• Build a safety net around your codebase with linters and tests
