Mastodon: what website or resource would you recommend for a senior engineer to quickly refamiliarise himself with #Python 🐍 at industry level?

So, more about advance stuff eg structuring a project, OOP particularities, how to add tests, common libraries to rely upon, etc—not "this is how a for loop works".

Thank you ❤️

@xurxodiz Dead Simple Python is excellent.

Its tagline is, “Python for the impatient programmer,“ and the idea is to dive right into Python stuff, without teaching you how to start programming.

Dead Simple Python

A thorough intro to every feature of the language, for programmers who are impatient to write production code.

@tero sounds good, I'll take a look, thanks!

@xurxodiz Also, for testing, do yourself a favor and take a look at Pytest instead of the built-in unittest–the book Python Testing with Pytest by @brianokken is a very good way to dig into that.

@tero Thanks! That's the kind of insight I'm looking for ❤️
