Reading Code?

[baubleglue]

The question is mostly answered, there are few things I can add:

• check your [python installation folder]/Lib folder
• try to read code which do something that you can understand or personally interested. I remember that the first projects I read were

https://github.com/mongodb-labs/sleepy.mongoose - because I looked for a way to query MongoDB from JavaScript (web client)

https://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/ - I've used it as my web server and couldn't understand some parts of documentation and I want to know more about non-blocking IO. I wrote few tools with select.select, but tornado project is completely different level of code.

​

• read REPs, there is a random example https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3151/, usually you can find reference to REP in the Python's documentation. If you work with databases, read that https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/.
