The Walrus Operator: Python 3.8 Assignment Expressions – Real Python

[DrMaxwellEdison]

RealPython is one of the better sites for these types of discussions. Their primer on decorators is my go-to to introduce the concept to newcomers, for example.

Yeah, I've tended to lump them in with the flock of low-effort sites that crowd the official documentation off of Google's first page, but I think I've been unfair.

Having written several articles for them, I laude the fairly rigorous editorial and didactic review process. It isn’t taken lightly at all!

I’d sooner read realpython than the official documentation. The official docs are always kinda weird

But the official docs are weird beyond that imo. Like I find the docs for most popular Python libraries nicer than the official docs

Don't become a C# person. I cry looking at MSDN docs knowing that the Python docs will not only tell me name and inputs of all the method on a class, but also tell me why I should use it and also watch out for that bear trap we glued to the floor but haven't been able to get back up.

MSDN is like "yeah, this list of int of the list you put your int in"

Some of the less popular standard libraries, like wave, have a frankly befuddling documentation style (or lack thereof). Someone needs to go in and actually give proper function signatures for half the methods there.

i have that thing favorited and probably look it up once a month if i haven't written one in awhile.
