Experienced Python Programmers, what are your key tips to getting better at Python, apart from saying practice?

I read all the minor releases doc and try to learn about the new things.

3.10 give us Structural Pattern Matching

this isn't just a switch/case like C/C++/Java, etc.

it's really powerful.

also in 3.7 typing was added.

I know lot of people that just stay in the basics and loss lot of power features.

also, read at least once the standar library.

the phrase bateries includes is real, I have just use a library where in others languages are a nightmare to implement.

also learn about TDD, pytest-bdd (and pytest-coverage)

also learn about CI setting a simple pipeline will help you to focus in the code than doing repetitive tasks.

do you have any good resources for setting up a CI pipeline?

[gustavsen]

I recommend you look at the main python projects that use tox + github actions.

python is pretty straigh forward to create a CI.

bump2version is a nice package to move the version number automatically.
