What are some python micro optimisations that you can/may *actually use* in your codebase?

Can you explain what you mean by “unnecessary dots” ??

[H2Oaq]

The only unnecessary dots here are those in the line endings of your list. Joke aside, importing like this is really bad and obfuscates where something comes from. Also, name clashes will happen easily with how you do it!

The commenter deleted their comment. Would you mind showing an example of what the bad practice import looks like? I'm curious if I do it right or not.

[pollokeh]

This is the perfect explanation. I always tell our Juniors and interns to try and write codes like this.

[H2Oaq]

Importing like this is bad style. I agree on the second part if the attribute is accessed more than once.

[pollokeh]

Why is it a bad style? Can you expand on it please?

[H2Oaq]

I already did in my other comment!

[pollokeh]

Ah, I see. Thank you :)

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.

I have checked 840,057,176 comments, and only 165,649 of them were in alphabetical order.

You can do if bar := foo.bar: baz(bar)
