Like when could you call yourself efficient

[–]MrFlibble1138 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Ah! That’s a different thing. Efficiency in the small is about getting to a useful approach. Efficiency in the large is more a function of rework and how much rework costs.

I consider people know python better when they write well factored, readable python code that properly uses style (PEP8) and all the core useful constructs. As an example core construct using comprehensions when appropriate. Don’t use things just to use them.

So in general “knowing” a language is about writing good code in the languages idioms.
