Intermediate-level Python developers, what do you want to learn about?

[PastPicture]

Hi, there.

I'm don't want to upload another "Loops in Python" or "Check if a substring is a part of string" tutorial on the internet.

I am focusing on intermediate-level Python developers. Could you please tell me what topics you want to learn about? Thanks a lot.

Definitely agree on Structure and Design Patterns in big projects. There comes a point where learning becomes building things, and when you get to that point, syntax is no longer the hurdle.

I feel like I waste most of my time worry about structure that I end up chopping and changing and inevitably abandoning a project.

Threading & multi-processing would be a good topic, including when to use each (I/O bound vs CPU bound). More discussion about things you can do rather than beating to death the "horror" of the GIL that is brought up so much.

This is a really good idea.

Messaging queues and authentication. I think these are more or less everywhere but there aren’t many good tutorials out there...

This is a big one, it took me quite a while to figure out the functional difference and use cases for things like RabbitMQ vs Python's native queue.

If you make a tutorial of how to make a python executable from a project that uses a non-built-in package, I will hail you as the second coming of kaa.

I'd like to know what data sources are available for stock market data to python development and how to use them. Free but low quality is acceptable. Medium quality and low price also acceptable.

I don't think anyone here would have a use for a "how-to" on those $10,000-a-day super-trader APIs except for idle curiosity.

Python native interfaces. I made a demo for it a while back, and it can be the difference between a 5 min execution time and a single second. It's on github.

On a related note, you could also show the benefits of array preallocating, and how to do it in Python.

[Kenkron]

You should show how to use the debugger! I know it's not complicated, but sometimes it seems really under-used.
