Main

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

List

<list> = <list>[from_inclusive : to_exclusive : step_size]
<list>.append(<el>)
<list>.extend(<list>)
<list> += [<el>]
<list> += <list>
<list>.sort()
<list>.reverse()
<list> = sorted(<list>)
<iter> = reversed(<list>)
sum_of_elements  = sum(<list>)
elementwise_sum  = [sum(pair) for pair in zip(list_a, list_b)]
sorted_by_second = sorted(<list>, key=lambda el: el[1])
sorted_by_both   = sorted(<list>, key=lambda el: (el[1], el[0]))
flattened_list   = list(itertools.chain.from_iterable(<list>))
list_of_chars    = list(<str>)
product_of_elems = functools.reduce(lambda out, x: out * x, <list>)
index = <list>.index(<el>)  # Returns first index of item. 
<list>.insert(index, <el>)  # Inserts item at index and moves the rest to the right.
<el> = <list>.pop([index])  # Removes and returns item at index or from the end.
<list>.remove(<el>)         # Removes first occurrence of item.
<list>.clear()              # Removes all items.   

Dictionary

<view>  = <dict>.keys()
<view>  = <dict>.values()
<view>  = <dict>.items()
<value> = <dict>.get(key, default)         # Returns default if key does not exist.
<value> = <dict>.setdefault(key, default)  # Same, but also adds default to dict.
<dict>.update(<dict>)
collections.defaultdict(<type>)     # Creates a dictionary with default value of type.
collections.defaultdict(lambda: 1)  # Creates a dictionary with default value 1.
collections.OrderedDict()           # Creates ordered dictionary.
dict(<list>)                        # Initiates a dict from list of key-value pairs.
dict(zip(keys, values))             # Initiates a dict from two lists.
{k: v for k, v in <dict>.items() if k in <list>}  # Filters a dict by keys.

Counter

>>> from collections import Counter
>>> colors = ['blue', 'red', 'blue', 'yellow', 'blue', 'red']
>>> Counter(colors)
Counter({'blue': 3, 'red': 2, 'yellow': 1})
>>> <counter>.most_common()[0][0]
'blue'

Set

<set> = set()
<set>.add(<el>)
<set>.update(<set>)
<set>.clear()
<set>  = <set>.union(<set>)                 # Or: <set> | <set>
<set>  = <set>.intersection(<set>)          # Or: <set> & <set>
<set>  = <set>.difference(<set>)            # Or: <set> - <set>
<set>  = <set>.symmetric_difference(<set>)  # Or: <set> ^ <set>
<bool> = <set>.issubset(<set>)
<bool> = <set>.issuperset(<set>)

Frozenset

Is hashable and can be used as a key in dictionary.

<frozenset> = frozenset(<collection>)

Range

range(to_exclusive)
range(from_inclusive, to_exclusive)
range(from_inclusive, to_exclusive, step_size)
range(from_inclusive, to_exclusive, -step_size)
from_inclusive = <range>.start
to_exclusive   = <range>.stop

Enumerate

for i, <el> in enumerate(<collection> [, i_start]):
    ...

Named Tuple

>>> Point = collections.namedtuple('Point', ['x', 'y'])
>>> a = Point(1, y=2)
Point(x=1, y=2)
>>> a.x
1
>>> getattr(a, 'y')
2
>>> Point._fields
('x', 'y')

Iterator

Skips first element:

next(<iter>)
for element in <iter>:
    ...

Reads input until it reaches an empty line:

for line in iter(input, ''):
    ...

Same, but prints a message every time:

from functools import partial
for line in iter(partial(input, 'Please enter value'), ''):
    ...

Generator

Convenient way to implement the iterator protocol.

def step(start, step):
    while True:
        yield start
        start += step
>>> stepper = step(10, 2)
>>> next(stepper), next(stepper), next(stepper)
(10, 12, 14)

Type

<type> = type(<el>)  # <class 'int'> / <class 'str'> / ...
from numbers import Number, Integral, Real, Rational, Complex
is_number   = isinstance(<el>, Number)
is_function = callable(<el>)

String

<str>  = <str>.strip()           # Strips all whitespace characters.
<str>  = <str>.strip('<chars>')  # Strips all passed characters.
<list> = <str>.split()                       # Splits on any whitespace character.
<list> = <str>.split(sep=None, maxsplit=-1)  # Splits on 'sep' at most 'maxsplit' times.
<str>  = <str>.join(<list>)                  # Joins elements using string as separator.
<str>  = <str>.replace(old_str, new_str)
<bool> = <str>.startswith(<sub_str>)      # Pass tuple of strings for multiple options.
<bool> = <str>.endswith(<sub_str>)        # Pass tuple of strings for multiple options.
<int>  = <str>.index(<sub_str>)           # Returns first index of a substring.
<bool> = <str>.isnumeric()                # True if str contains only numeric characters.
<list> = textwrap.wrap(<str>, width)      # Nicely breaks string into lines.

Char

<str> = chr(<int>)  # Converts int to unicode char.
<int> = ord(<str>)  # Converts unicode char to int.
>>> ord('0'), ord('9')
(48, 57)
>>> ord('A'), ord('Z')
(65, 90)
>>> ord('a'), ord('z')
(97, 122)

Print

print(<el_1> [, <el_2>, end='', sep='', file=<file>])  # Use 'file=sys.stderr' for errors.
>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> pprint(locals())
{'__doc__': None,
 '__name__': '__main__',
 '__package__': None, ...}

Regex

import re
<str>   = re.sub(<regex>, new, text, count=0)  # Substitutes all occurrences.
<list>  = re.findall(<regex>, text)
<list>  = re.split(<regex>, text, maxsplit=0)  # Use brackets in regex to keep the matches.
<Match> = re.search(<regex>, text)             # Searches for first occurrence of pattern.
<Match> = re.match(<regex>, text)              # Searches only at the beginning of the text.
<Match_iter> = re.finditer(<regex>, text)      # Searches for all occurrences of pattern.
  • Parameter 'flags=re.IGNORECASE' can be used with all functions. Parameter 'flags=re.DOTALL' makes dot also accept newline.
  • Use '\\1' or r'\1' for backreference.
  • Use ? to make operators non-greedy.

Match Object

<str> = <Match>.group()   # Whole match.
<str> = <Match>.group(1)  # Part in first bracket.
<int> = <Match>.start()   # Start index of a match.
<int> = <Match>.end()     # Exclusive end index of a match.

Special Sequences

Use capital letter for negation.

'\d' == '[0-9]'          # Digit
'\s' == '[ \t\n\r\f\v]'  # Whitespace
'\w' == '[a-zA-Z0-9_]'   # Alphanumeric

Format

<str> = f'{<el_1>}, {<el_2>}'
<str> = '{}, {}'.format(<el_1>, <el_2>)
>>> Person = namedtuple('Person', 'name height')
>>> person = Person('Jean-Luc', 187)
>>> f'{person.height:10}'
'       187'
>>> '{p.height:10}'.format(p=person)
'       187'

General Options

Constants

from math import e, pi

Trigonometry

from math import cos, acos, sin, asin, tan, atan, degrees, radians

Logarithm

from math import log, log10, log2
log(x [, base])  # Base e, if not specified.

Datetime

from datetime import datetime, strptime
now = datetime.now()
now.month                      # 3

now.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S')   # '20180315002834'
<datetime> = strptime('2015-05-12 00:39', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')

Arguments

"*" is the splat operator, that takes a list as input, and expands it into actual positional arguments in the function call.

args   = (1, 2)
kwargs = {'x': 3, 'y': 4, 'z': 5}
func(*args, **kwargs)  

Is the same as:

func(1, 2, x=3, y=4, z=5)

Splat operator can also be used in function declarations:

def add(*a):
    return sum(a)
>>> add(1, 2, 3)
6

And in few other places:

>>> a = (1, 2, 3)
>>> [*a]
[1, 2, 3]
>>> head, *body, tail = [1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> body
[2, 3]

Bytes

Bytes objects are immutable sequences of single bytes.

Encode

<Bytes> = b'<str>'
<Bytes> = <str>.encode(encoding='utf-8')
<Bytes> = <int>.to_bytes(<length>, byteorder='big|little', signed=False)
<Bytes> = bytes.fromhex(<hex>)

<str> = <Bytes>.decode('utf-8') 
<int> = int.from_bytes(<Bytes>, byteorder='big|little', signed=False)
<hex> = <Bytes>.hex()

def read_bytes(filename):
    with open(filename, 'rb') as file:
        return file.read()

Write Bytes to File

def write_bytes(filename, bytes):
    with open(filename, 'wb') as file:
        file.write(bytes)
<Bytes> = b''.join(<list_of_Bytes>)

Struct

This module performs conversions between Python values and C struct represented as Python Bytes object.

<Bytes> = struct.pack('<format>', <value_1> [, <value_2>, ...])
<tuple> = struct.unpack('<format>', <Bytes>)

Example

>>> from struct import pack, unpack, calcsize
>>> pack('hhl', 1, 2, 3)
b'\x00\x01\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x03'
>>> unpack('hhl', b'\x00\x01\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x03')
(1, 2, 3)
>>> calcsize('hhl')
8

Format

Use capital leters for unsigned type.

  • 'x' - pad byte
  • 'c' - char
  • 'h' - short
  • 'i' - int
  • 'l' - long
  • 'q' - long long
  • 'f' - float
  • 'd' - double

Hashlib

>>> hashlib.md5(<str>.encode()).hexdigest()
'33d0eba106da4d3ebca17fcd3f4c3d77'

Threading

from threading import Thread, RLock

Thread

thread = Thread(target=<function>, args=(<first_arg>, ))
thread.start()
...
thread.join()

Lock

lock = Rlock()
lock.acquire()
...
lock.release()

Itertools

Every function returns an iterator and can accept any collection and/or iterator. If you want to print the iterator, you need to pass it to the list() function.

from itertools import *

Combinatoric iterators

>>> combinations('abc', 2)
[('a', 'b'), ('a', 'c'), ('b', 'c')]

>>> combinations_with_replacement('abc', 2)
[('a', 'a'), ('a', 'b'), ('a', 'c'), 
 ('b', 'b'), ('b', 'c'), ('c', 'c')]

>>> permutations('abc', 2)
[('a', 'b'), ('a', 'c'), 
 ('b', 'a'), ('b', 'c'), 
 ('c', 'a'), ('c', 'b')]

>>> product('ab', [1, 2])
[('a', 1), ('a', 2), 
 ('b', 1), ('b', 2)]

>>> product([0, 1], repeat=3)
[(0, 0, 0), (0, 0, 1), (0, 1, 0), (0, 1, 1), 
 (1, 0, 0), (1, 0, 1), (1, 1, 0), (1, 1, 1)]

Infinite iterators

>>> i = count(5, 2)
>>> next(i), next(i), next(i)
(5, 7, 9)

>>> a = cycle('abc')
>>> [next(a) for _ in range(10)]
['a', 'b', 'c', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'a']

>>> repeat(10, 3)
[10, 10, 10]

Iterators

>>> chain([1, 2], range(3, 5))
[1, 2, 3, 4]

>>> compress('abc', [True, 0, 1])
['a', 'c']

>>> islice([1, 2, 3], 1, None)  # islice(<seq>, from_inclusive, to_exclusive) 
[2, 3]

>>> people = [{'id': 1, 'name': 'bob'}, 
              {'id': 2, 'name': 'bob'}, 
              {'id': 3, 'name': 'peter'}]
>>> {name: list(ppp) for name, ppp in groupby(people, key=lambda p: p['name'])}
{'bob':   [{'id': 1, 'name': 'bob'}, 
           {'id': 2, 'name': 'bob'}], 
 'peter': [{'id': 3, 'name': 'peter'}]}

Introspection and Metaprograming

Inspecting code at runtime and code that generates code. You can:

  • Look at the attributes
  • Set new attributes
  • Create functions dynamically
  • Traverse the parent classes
  • Change values in the class

Variables

<list> = dir()      # In-scope variables.
<dict> = locals()   # Local variables.
<dict> = globals()  # Global variables.

Attributes

>>> class Z:
...     def __init__(self):
...             self.a = 'abcde'
...             self.b = 12345
>>> z = Z()
>>> vars(z)
{'a': 'abcde', 'b': 12345}

>>> getattr(z, 'a')
'abcde'

>>> hasattr(z, 'c')
False

>>> setattr(z, 'c', 10)

Parameters

Getting the number of parameters of a function:

from inspect import signature
sig = signature(<function>)
no_of_params = len(sig.parameters)

Type

Type is the root class. If only passed the object it returns it's type. Otherwise it creates a new class (and not the instance!):

type(<class_name>, <parents_tuple>, <attributes_dict>)
>>> Z = type('Z', (), {'a': 'abcde', 'b': 12345})
>>> z = Z()

MetaClass

Class that creates class:

def my_meta_class(name, parents, attrs):
    ...
    return type(name, parents, attrs)

Or:

class MyMetaClass(type):
    def __new__(klass, name, parents, attrs):
        ...
        return type.__new__(klass, name, parents, attrs)

Metaclass Attribute

When class is created it checks if it has metaclass defined. If not, it recursively checks if any of his parents has it defined, and eventually comes to type:

class BlaBla:
    __metaclass__ = Bla

Operator

Coroutine

  • Similar to Generator, but Generator pulls data through the pipe with iteration, while Coroutine pushes data into the pipeline with send().
  • Coroutines provide more powerful data routing possibilities than iterators.
  • If you built a collection of simple data processing components, you can glue them together into complex arrangements of pipes, branches, merging, etc.

Helper Decorator

  • All coroutines must be "primed" by first calling .next()
  • Remembering to call .next() is easy to forget.
  • Solved by wrapping coroutines with a decorator:
def coroutine(func):
    def start(*args, **kwargs):
        cr = func(*args, **kwargs)
        next(cr)
        return cr
    return start

Pipeline Example

def reader(target):
    for i in range(10):
        target.send(i)
    target.close()

@coroutine
def adder(target):
    while True:
        item = (yield)
        target.send(item + 100)

@coroutine
def printer():
    while True:
        item = (yield)
        print(item)

reader(adder(printer()))



Libraries

Plot

# $ pip3 install matplotlib
from matplotlib import pyplot
pyplot.plot(<data_1> [, <data_2>, ...])
pyplot.show()
pyplot.savefig(<filename>, transparent=True)

Table

Prints CSV file as ASCII table:

# $ pip3 install tabulate
import csv
from tabulate import tabulate
with open(<filename>, newline='') as csv_file:
    reader = csv.reader(csv_file, delimiter=';')
    headers = [a.title() for a in next(reader)]
    print(tabulate(reader, headers))

Curses

# $ pip3 install curses
from curses import wrapper

def main():
    wrapper(draw)

def draw(screen):
    screen.clear()
    screen.addstr(0, 0, 'Press ESC to quit.')
    while screen.getch() != 27:
        pass

def get_border(screen):
    from collections import namedtuple
    P = namedtuple('P', 'x y')
    height, width = screen.getmaxyx()
    return P(width - 1, height - 1)

Image

Creates PNG image of greyscale gradient:

# $ pip3 install pillow
from PIL import Image
width, height = 100, 100
img = Image.new('L', (width, height), 'white')
img.putdata([255*a/(width*height) for a in range(width*height)])
img.save('out.png')

Modes

  • '1' - 1-bit pixels, black and white, stored with one pixel per byte.
  • 'L' - 8-bit pixels, greyscale.
  • 'RGB' - 3x8-bit pixels, true color.
  • 'RGBA' - 4x8-bit pixels, true color with transparency mask.
  • 'HSV' - 3x8-bit pixels, Hue, Saturation, Value color space.

Audio

Saves list of floats with values between 0 and 1 to a WAV file:

import wave, struct
frames = [struct.pack('h', int((a-0.5)*60000)) for a in <list>]
wf = wave.open(<filename>, 'wb')
wf.setnchannels(1)
wf.setsampwidth(4)
wf.setframerate(44100)
wf.writeframes(b''.join(frames))
wf.close()

Url

from urllib.parse import quote, quote_plus, unquote, unquote_plus

Encode

>>> quote("Can't be in URL!")
'Can%27t%20be%20in%20URL%21'
>>> quote_plus("Can't be in URL!")
'Can%27t+be+in+URL%21'

Decode

>>> unquote('Can%27t+be+in+URL%21')
"Can't+be+in+URL!"'
>>> unquote_plus('Can%27t+be+in+URL%21')
"Can't be in URL!"

Web

# $ pip3 install bottle
import bottle
from urllib.parse import unquote

Run

bottle.run(host='localhost', port=8080)
bottle.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=80, server='cherrypy')

Static request

@route('/img/<image>')
def send_image(image):
    return static_file(image, 'images/', mimetype='image/png')

Dynamic request

@route('/<sport>')
def send_page(sport):
    sport = unquote(sport).lower()
    page = read_file(sport)
    return template(page)

REST request

@post('/odds/<sport>')
def odds_handler(sport):
    team = bottle.request.forms.get('team')
    team = unquote(team).lower()

    db = sqlite3.connect(<db_path>)
    home_odds, away_odds = get_odds(db, sport, team)
    db.close()

    response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'
    response.headers['Cache-Control'] = 'no-cache'
    return json.dumps([home_odds, away_odds])

Profile

Basic:

from time import time
start_time = time()
...
duration = time() - start_time

Times execution of the passed code:

from timeit import timeit
timeit('"-".join(str(n) for n in range(100))', 
       number=10000, globals=globals())

Generates a PNG image of call graph and highlights the bottlenecks:

# $ pip3 install pycallgraph
import pycallgraph
graph = pycallgraph.output.GraphvizOutput()
graph.output_file = get_filename()
with pycallgraph.PyCallGraph(output=graph):
    <code_to_be_profiled>

        bar = Bar(len(elements))
        for el in elements:
            yield el
            bar.tick()
