Netflix Expands Zach Snyder's Rebel Moon Series With Blood Line Game

Uncommon Uses of Python in Commonly Used Libraries (2022)

To learn how to build more maintainable and usable Python libraries, I’ve been reading some of the most widely used Python packages. Along the way, I learned some things about Python that are off the beaten path. Here are a few things I didn’t know before. Using super() in base classes Python’s super() lets us inherit base classes (aka super or parent classes) without having to explicitly refer to the base class. It’s usually used in the __init__ method. While this might be simply a nice-to-ha

Use keyword-only arguments in Python dataclasses

Python dataclasses are a really nice feature for constructing classes that primarily hold or work with data. They can be a good alternative to using dictionaries, since they allow you to add methods, dynamic properties, and subclasses.

One small tip to keeping dataclasses maintainable is to always construct
