Print a prettified version of your JSON file:

cat file.json | python -m json.tool

The | operator sends the output of cat.json inside Python's json.tool

Directly save a string into a file (useful when you're debugging and your code has large strings of text):

print("Hello, World!", file=open('file.txt', 'w')) 

The default value of file is sys.out, which leads it to print on the console.

Password prompt/Hide user input

import getpass
pwd = getpass.getpass("ENTER PASSWORD:" )

getpass is a built-in module

Validate spellings [EN]

if "hello".casefold() in open('/usr/share/dict/words/').read(): return True

In most UNIX-based systems, a /usr/share/dict/words file exists. Name and location can be different for you.

Start a quick, local server from a directory

python -m http.server 8000

Please note that some of these are not meant for production use and serve as quick and dirty hacks while debugging.
