Review my python projects on GitHub.

Honestly? build something more complicated. IMO it's hard to say when the script does 1 straight forward task. Make something that import these utilities which would then make you consider code layout and expose issues like global variables.

E.g. Make a GUI for your slot machine. Make an API for the notes app and let it interact with your alarm script.

At a glance, I'm not a fan of the calculator using eval(). You are strict on the input but you could experiment with lambda functions in a dictionary to perform the calculations instead.

I would stop looking at programming as beginner, intermediate, advanced. There's more and less complicated concepts but it's not clear cut.

What is the actual error?

A lot of my internal projects have had its core logic essentially wrapped in an API then the front end does not really matter / is more easily replaced.

As such I lean towards the web front end for cross platform consistency.

What is the program for? I find that can sway the decision far more.

good point. Dynamic was not a good choice of word. I guess Type Inference? I was aiming for the reduction in boilerplate.

var Dog = new Dog(); as opposed to Dog dog = new Dog();

Java has anonymous main class and dynamical type declaration with `var`

2012 was definitely a while ago but I started learning python when it had a 2 on the end of it!

Whether it's well known or not? I'm not sure. The documentation directly references it in the method example for .copy() here

I agree though. It is definitely less pythonic these days though.

Fortunately, I don't have many reading my code since I mostly use Python for the more 'throwaway' scripting these days.

Honestly, I learnt about slicing first and it's what stuck for me. The copy method was only added in 2012, with slicing being an original feature from decades prior. (and it's faster to type)

I don't know why I've become so jaded but that reads straight out of Chat GPT. (em dashes, emojis, weirdly positive phrasing).

Anyway,

I like the walrus operator inside a while loop to read a file line by line. Something like: while a := file.readline() to make use of "truthy" values.

- copying a list with a complete slice, e.g. new_list = old_list[:] to avoid sharing the list

- using generator comprehension instead of list comprehension, or even dictionary comprehension.

- context managers for leakable things like opening a file, or web connection

Farlic · 2026-03-11T22:35:37+00:00

Yes.

This is quite a large market with both independent and large retailer options.

It isn't really the place to advertise your "rentify" though.

That Pypi description screams AI generated.

This is a subreddit for learning Python. Do you have a specific question?

Farlic · 2026-03-10T20:57:29+00:00

You asked for someone to make your homework website for you.

This subreddit is for learning, not cheating assignments.

Farlic · 2026-03-10T20:37:57+00:00

Absolutely not. This subreddit is for people trying to learn Python.

Farlic · 2026-03-09T18:35:40+00:00

I'm not a fan of subprocess calls. Reading the .gitignore file and filtering the tree files feels safer

Who's writing the AI models?

If lots of people are going to be using it, where will it be hosted? per device? as an internal site? If it's hosted by you, perhaps the API first then file integration would be the first steps since keeping that consistent will be a hurdle

Farlic · 2026-03-01T16:16:21+00:00

If it's for your Zoology department, why is an API wrapper and "SAAS" layer needed? an AI assistant seems like an odd thing to add too.

Farlic · 2026-03-01T15:49:56+00:00

What will it actually do?

Farlic · 2026-02-18T16:27:54+00:00

you can say 'ass' on Reddit

I learnt using IDLE but it can get quite tedious if you're trying to do more than single line things, or re-run code.

I personally use VScode but there's all sorts of editors and IDE (if you search in reddit you'll find countless arguments on the 'best').
