Python

Share your best examples of Python cheat sheets

I've really found using a good Python cheat sheet very helpful to have to hand to quickly help my remember syntax, particular methods etc...

This is a good one I found (not by me): https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByIrJAE4KMTtaGhRcXkxNHhmY2M

Does anyone else find using cheat sheets useful? (share your examples here as it's always good to see different summaries)

I find Dash to be really useful (when I can remember to use it). Mostly, though, I use the official documentation and the help() and dir() functions.

Hello!

Indeed you can't be expected to know by heart all the libraries, methods, functions... unless you reach Guido-level (you are expected to know everything there is to know on Python at that level :) ).

And to extend a bit the question, are cookbooks useful (for example O'Reilly's Python Cookbook)? Cheat-sheets for newbies and cookbooks for veterans?

Very interested in the forum's take on this!

Cheers,

Thanks, yes I would be interested in hearing thoughts about cookbooks too (and have been interested in the particular book you mentioned).

Ok thanks - good to know what the experts use
