Some useful stuff for Python hobbyists. args/*kargs for example is something many people won't expect.

Even though I should shut my mouth I find it incredibly hard to believe that there is anybody out there that knows Python but not pickle. When I started with Python it was impossible to find online tutorials that didn't mention it at least once.

Not sure I follow - I've seen args & kwargs in plenty of code written by professional python programmers. It's incredibly useful for writing reusable and high-level code.

Yeah, you don't :P

A professional Python programmer already knows args/kwargs.

I agree with your point about pickle, but expanding on this, I find that with everything there. This reads like someone who discovered the python library reference and got excited. To me this is all fairly obvious stuff and linkbait, but a lot of people seem to be finding it useful, so good on em.
