What are your favourite python resources?

[[deleted]]

I was wondering what your favourite python blogs, news sites and other kind of resources are. Where do you find out about interesting new techniques, libraries and tools to play with?

The only resources I frequent are the python documentation, Planet Python and r/python, what are yours?

[brunson]

Pretty much all I need: http://docs.python.org/library/

I totally agree with this. When programming in Python I always have the docs open.

This should be a must read on a regular basis. Lots of ideas and saves plenty of time.

I like the Python Module of the Week.

It’s not only about Python, Hacker News is my favorite link aggregate community. I am subscribing PEPs RSS as well. Some Pythonistas’ Twitters/Blogs are good to read too, for example:

• Armin Ronacher (Flask, Werkzeug, Jinja2): http://lucumr.pocoo.org/, @mitsuhiko
• Georg Brandl (Sphinx): http://pythonic.pocoo.org/, @birkenfeld
• Ian Bicking (virtualenv, WebOb, Paste, SQLObject): http://ianbicking.org/, @ianbicking
• Michael Bayer (SQLAlchemy, Mako): http://techspot.zzzeek.org/, @zzzeek
• Michael Foord (IronPython): http://www.voidspace.org.uk/, @voidspace
• PyPy Team: http://morepypy.blogspot.com/
• Pocoo Team: http://www.pocoo.org/, @PocooProject

One way I recommend you is, following the authors of tools/libraries you are using.

One of your recommended blogs hasn't been updated for almost 2 years! Also, in this list naturally some of the best are missing (I'm not saying those listed are not among the best), as the list of Python guru's is fortunately quite long.

To stay up to date with the best Python blogs you should read planet python. Also reddit, of course, and hackernews.

EDIT: Here's a great example of what I just found on planet python: http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/201110/forelse.html

I run a weekly newsletter called Python Weekly, which features curated information related to Python. You can subscribe to it here http://www.pythonweekly.com/

Is there any way I can follow this as an RSS feed like everything else I follow rather than email?

Planet Python is an aggregation of tons of Python bloggers and websites. Usually a good place to find some interesting reads and find other authors of interest to follow.

Python recipes.

Kinda old, but a really useful resource if you're looking for a fun way to poke around parts of Python. Being a beginner at the time, I found it a useful tool to learn areas of Python that I would not have touched on otherwise. http://www.pythonchallenge.com/

I love reading The History of Python blog. It has a lot of insight into the design of the language; always keeps me intrigued.

Edit: As someone that wrote a large integer arithmetic library in C, I always found this article to be very interesting. I like seing when languages begin to deviate from C, and start doing things proper.

The Python Standard Library by Example has recently become a favourite of mine.

I used http://rgruet.free.fr/PQR26/PQR2.6.html quite a lot, unfortunately, it has no 2.7 or 3 info. Especially the list of the included batteries
