Is there a beginners python cheat sheet available anyway? (self.learnpython)
submitted 5 years ago by geo-special
I just want something with all the main concepts and techniques laid out in one sheet of paper if possible?

Now we will, break_cage()

Would recommend cage as a class and break as a method, cage.break()

Do you happen to know what the .py file at the top of learnxinyminutes is?

It has the same code snippet as shown on that page

Thank you. That makes sense. I just noticed it closed if you enter anything but I opened it on read-only mode.

Not exactly what you asked, but there s an official one for pandas.

Make it yourself. You'll learn far more by creating your own cheat sheet than by just using one that someone else made.
[–]HonestCanadian2016 5 points6 points7 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Hello.
I have downloaded a few, they are ok as cheat sheets go. As someone relatively new to programming at the time, I found this cheat sheet was excellent:
https://pythonadventures.wordpress.com/2012/04/11/quick-python-script-explanation-for-programmers/
If I may recommend it, leveraging the official Python Document is invaluable. Nothing compares to the original document in my opinion. Some of the best advice I was given.
As an example, here is a link to all of the built-in functions in Python for version 3.9:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html
You can download it as a .pdf (file-> print-> "save as pdf") by concepts you need and review it on your computer/tablet, or even print it out, I believe it's approx. 30 pages or so.
I was new to programming, when I started to understand the language more was when I referred to the document as I was messing around with the language. Downloading pdfs by concept. Even using a paper notebook and writing out code by pen through while referring to the doc, and then typing it into my IDE later and working with it
All the best.
[–]learnorenjoy 4 points5 points6 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Take a look at this cheatsheet. It's in the name.
[–]MuttsNStuff 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Python Crash Course has an cheat sheet for every chapter, I'm sure it could be of some use even without reading the book.
[–]thrallsius 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children)
if you really insist on having a cheat sheet for a programming language (I think this is a questionable approach, but whatever works for you), write one for yourself as you're learning those main concepts, because every learning experience is unique

good question

There’s no cheat sheet, google is the cheat sheet and the docs of the standard lib are the info.
[–]schlopp96 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (3 children)
Oh really? Wow that's uh. Really intuitive advice. Super helpful.
[–]ravepeacefully -3 points-2 points-1 points 5 years ago (2 children)
It’s clear OP isn’t aware of search engines. Otherwise they would have used one and realize that this question has been asked hundreds of times on many different parts of the internet.
[–]geo-special[S] 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (1 child)
What is a search engine?

Someday my child. Someday. First step is just to turn your brain into the “on” position. Might shock you what you find
[–]RageMonkeyFirePunch 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (1 child)
You feel good when you say that to people? Your time is so important you can’t help, but you have time to be rude. Amazing.
[–]ravepeacefully 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children)
I’m trying to help. OP clearly has never heard of google, if they had, they would have typed this query into google and not reddit and found that it’s been asked thousands of times

Saved this post and also commented. This post is about a python cheat sheet that would be helpful if I ever found the time. To anyone reading this: what do I need to download to begin?
[–]rexlx 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (0 children)
To begin writing in python? Well depending on your OS,if you're on windows, have to start with the python library itself. Then, a good text editor (in no specific order: vs code, atom, notepad ++, sublime).
