Main
----
```python
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
```


List
----
```python
<list> = <list>[from_inclusive : to_exclusive : step_size]
<list>.append(<el>)
<list>.extend(<list>)
<list> += [<el>]
<list> += <list>
```

```python
<list>.sort()
<list>.reverse()
<list> = sorted(<list>)
<iter> = reversed(<list>)
```

```python
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>)
no_duplicates    = list(dict.fromkeys(<list>))
```

```python
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
----------
```python
<view> = <dict>.keys()
<view> = <dict>.values()
<view> = <dict>.items()
```

```python
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> = collections.defaultdict(<type>)     # Creates a dictionary with default value of type.
<dict> = collections.defaultdict(lambda: 1)  # Creates a dictionary with default value 1.
```

```python
<dict>.update(<dict>)
<dict> = dict(<list>)                           # Initiates a dict from list of key-value pairs.
<dict> = dict(zip(keys, values))                # Initiates a dict from two lists.
<dict> = dict.fromkeys(keys [, value])          # Initiates a dict from list of keys.
{k: v for k, v in <dict>.items() if k in keys}  # Filters a dict by keys.
```

### Counter
```python
>>> 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
---
```python
<set> = set()
<set>.add(<el>)
<set>.update(<set>)
<set>.clear()
```

```python
<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>)              # Or: <set> < <set>
<bool> = <set>.issuperset(<set>)            # Or: <set> > <set>
```

### Frozenset
#### Is hashable and can be used as a key in dictionary.
```python
<frozenset> = frozenset(<collection>)
```


Range
-----
```python
range(to_exclusive)
range(from_inclusive, to_exclusive)
range(from_inclusive, to_exclusive, step_size)
range(from_inclusive, to_exclusive, -step_size)
```

```python
from_inclusive = <range>.start
to_exclusive   = <range>.stop
```


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


Named Tuple
-----------
```python
>>> 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:
```python
next(<iter>)
for element in <iter>:
    ...
```

#### Reads input until it reaches an empty line:
```python
for line in iter(input, ''):
    ...
```

#### Same, but prints a message every time:
```python
from functools import partial
for line in iter(partial(input, 'Please enter value'), ''):
    ...
```


Generator
---------
**Convenient way to implement the iterator protocol.**

```python
def step(start, step):
    while True:
        yield start
        start += step
```

```python
>>> stepper = step(10, 2)
>>> next(stepper), next(stepper), next(stepper)
(10, 12, 14)
```


Type
----
```python
<type> = type(<el>)  # <class 'int'> / <class 'str'> / ...
```

```python
from numbers import Number, Integral, Real, Rational, Complex
is_number   = isinstance(<el>, Number)
is_function = callable(<el>)
```


String
------
```python
<str> = <str>.strip()           # Strips all whitespace characters.
<str> = <str>.strip('<chars>')  # Strips all passed characters.
```

```python
<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.
```

```python
<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
```python
<str> = chr(<int>)  # Converts int to unicode char.
<int> = ord(<str>)  # Converts unicode char to int.
```

```python
>>> ord('0'), ord('9')
(48, 57)
>>> ord('A'), ord('Z')
(65, 90)
>>> ord('a'), ord('z')
(97, 122)
```

### Print
```python
print(<el_1> [, <el_2>, end='', sep='', file=<file>])  # Use 'file=sys.stderr' for errors.
```

```python
>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> pprint(locals())
{'__doc__': None,
 '__name__': '__main__',
 '__package__': None, ...}
```


Regex
-----
```python
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 `r'\1'` or `'\\\\1'` for backreference.**  
* **Use `'?'` to make operators non-greedy.**   

### Match Object
```python
<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.**
```python
'\d' == '[0-9]'          # Digit
'\s' == '[ \t\n\r\f\v]'  # Whitespace
'\w' == '[a-zA-Z0-9_]'   # Alphanumeric
```


Format
------
```python
<str> = f'{<el_1>}, {<el_2>}'
<str> = '{}, {}'.format(<el_1>, <el_2>)
```

```python
>>> Person = namedtuple('Person', 'name height')
>>> person = Person('Jean-Luc', 187)
>>> f'{person.height:10}'
'       187'
>>> '{p.height:10}'.format(p=person)
'       187'
```

### General Options
```python
{<el>:<10}   # '<el>      '

* `'f'` - Fixed point: `.<precision>f`
* `'e'` - Exponent

#### Integer presentation types:
* `'c'` - Character
* `'b'` - Binary
* `'x'` - Hex

Arguments
---------
**"*" is the splat operator, that takes a list as input, and expands it into actual positional arguments in the function call.**
```python
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:
```python
def add(*a):
    return sum(a)
```

```python
>>> add(1, 2, 3)
6
```

#### And in few other places:
```python
>>> a = (1, 2, 3)
>>> [*a]
[1, 2, 3]
```

```python
>>> head, *body, tail = [1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> body
[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

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

### Attributes
```python
>>> class Z:
...     def __init__(self):
...         self.a = 'abcde'
...         self.b = 12345
>>> z = Z()
```

```python
>>> 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:
```python
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!):**
```python
type(<class_name>, <parents_tuple>, <attributes_dict>)
```

```python
>>> Z = type('Z', (), {'a': 'abcde', 'b': 12345})
>>> z = Z()
```

### MetaClass
#### Class that creates class:
```python
def my_meta_class(name, parents, attrs):
    ...
    return type(name, parents, attrs)
```
#### Or:
```python
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:**
```python
class BlaBla:
    __metaclass__ = Bla
```


Operator
--------
```python
from operator import add, sub, mul, truediv, floordiv, mod, pow, neg, abs, \
                     eq, ne, lt, le, gt, ge, \
                     not_, and_, or_, \
                     itemgetter
```

```python
product_of_elems = functools.reduce(mul, <list>)
sorted_by_second = sorted(<list>, key=itemgetter(1))
sorted_by_both   = sorted(<list>, key=itemgetter(0, 1))
```


Eval
----
### Basic
```python
>>> from ast import literal_eval
>>> literal_eval('1 + 1')
2
>>> literal_eval('[1, 2, 3]')
[1, 2, 3]
```

### Using Abstract Syntax Trees
```python
import ast
from ast import Num, BinOp, UnaryOp
import operator as op

legal_operators = {ast.Add:    op.add, 
                   ast.Sub:    op.sub, 
                   ast.Mult:   op.mul,
                   ast.Div:    op.truediv, 
                   ast.Pow:    op.pow, 
                   ast.BitXor: op.xor,
                   ast.USub:   op.neg}

def evaluate(expression):
    root = ast.parse(expression, mode='eval')
    return eval_node(root.body)

def eval_node(node):
    node_type = type(node)
    if node_type == Num:
        return node.n
    if node_type not in [BinOp, UnaryOp]:
        raise TypeError(node)
    operator_type = type(node.op)
    if operator_type not in legal_operators:
        raise TypeError(f'Illegal operator {node.op}')
    operator = legal_operators[operator_type]
    if node_type == BinOp:
        left, right = eval_node(node.left), eval_node(node.right)
        return operator(left, right)
    elif node_type == UnaryOp:
        operand = eval_node(node.operand)
        return operator(operand)
```

```python
>>> evaluate('2^6')
4
>>> evaluate('2**6')
64
>>> evaluate('1 + 2*3**(4^5) / (6 + -7)')
-5.0
```


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:**  

```python
def coroutine(func):
    def out(*args, **kwargs):
        cr = func(*args, **kwargs)
        next(cr)
        return cr
    return out
```

### Pipeline Example
```python
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()))
```

    """Prints arguments and output of a decorated function."""
    def out(*args, **kwargs):
        result = func(*args, **kwargs)
        arg_list = [repr(x) for x in args]
        arg_list += [f'{k}={v!r}' for k, v in kwargs.items()]
        arg_str = ', '.join(arg_list)

    def __init__(s, steps, width=40):
        s.st, s.wi, s.fl, s.i = steps, width, 0, 0
        s.th = s.fl * s.st / s.wi
        s.p(f"[{' ' * s.wi}]")
        s.p('\b' * (s.wi + 1))
    def tick(s):
        s.i += 1
        while s.i > s.th:
            s.fl += 1
            s.th = s.fl * s.st / s.wi
            s.p('-')
        if s.i == s.st:
            s.p('\n')
    def p(s, t):
        sys.stdout.write(t)
        sys.stdout.flush()
