Main

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

List

<list>[from_inclusive : to_exclusive : step_size]
<list>.append(<el>)
<list>.extend(<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   = [item for sublist in <list> for item in sublist]
list_of_chars    = list(<str>)
product          = 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

<dict>.keys()
<dict>.values()
<dict>.items()
<dict>.get(key, default)
<dict>.setdefault(key, default)
<dict>.update(<dict>)

collections.defaultdict(<type>)  # Creates a dictionary with default values of type.
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
>>> z = ['blue', 'red', 'blue', 'yellow', 'blue', 'red']
>>> Counter(z)
Counter({'blue': 3, 'red': 2, 'yellow': 1})

Set

<set> = set()
<set>.add(<el>)
<set>.update(<set>)
<set>.union(<set>)
<set>.intersection(<set>)
<set>.difference(<set>)
<set>.issubset(<set>)
<set>.issuperset(<set>)

Frozenset

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

<frozenset> = frozenset()

Range

range(to_exclusive)
range(from_inclusive, to_exclusive)
range(from_inclusive, to_exclusive, step_size)
range(from_inclusive, to_exclusive, -step_size)

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)  # 10 (, 12, 14, ...)

Type

type(<el>)  # <class 'int'> / <class 'str'> / ...

import numbers
isinstance(<el>, numbers.Number)  # Integral, Real, Rational, Complex
callable(<el>)                    # Is element a function

String

<str>  = <str>.replace(old_str, new_str)
<list> = <str>.split(sep=None, maxsplit=-1)  # Splits on whitespaces.
<str>  = <str>.strip([chars])
<str>  = <str>.join(<list>)
<bool> = <str>.startswith(<str>)  # Pass tuple of strings for multiple options.
<bool> = <str>.endswith(<str>)    # Pass tuple of strings for multiple options.
<bool> = <str>.isnumeric()        # True if str contains only numeric characters.
<int>  = <str>.index(<sub_str>)   # Returns first index of substring.

Print

print(<el> [, <el>, end='', sep='', file=<file>])  # Use 'file=sys.stderr' for err.

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 string.
<Match_iter> = re.finditer(<regex>, text)      # Searches for all occurences 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

'{}'.format(<el> [, <el>, ...])

{:min_width}   # '<el>    '
{:>min_width}  # '    <el>'
{:^min_width}  # '  <el>  '
{:_<min_width} # '<el>____'
{:.max_width}  # '<e>'
{:max_width.min_width}        # '    <e>'
{:max_width.no_of_decimalsf}  # '   3.14'

>>> person = {'name': 'Jean-Luc', 'height': 187.1}
>>> '{p[height]:.0f}'.format(p=person)
'187'
>>> f"{person['height']:.0f}"
'187'

Binary, at least 10 spaces wide, filled with zeros:

>>> f'{123:010b}'
'0001111011'

Integer presentation types:

• b - Binary
• c - Character
• o - Octal
• x - Hex
• X - HEX

Text Wrap

now.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S')   # '20180315002834'

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 some 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>)

        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 structs represented as Python bytes objects:

<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(b'<str>').hexdigest()
'33d0eba106da4d3ebca17fcd3f4c3d77'

Threading

import threading

Thread

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

Lock

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

Itertools

Every function returns a generator and can accept any collection. If you want to print an output of generator, as in examples, you need to pass it to the list() function.

from itertools import *

Combinatoric iterators

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

>>> ombinations_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)]

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]

>>> a = [{'id': 1, 'name': 'bob'}, 
         {'id': 2, 'name': 'bob'}, 
         {'id': 3, 'name': 'peter'}]
>>> {k: list(v) for k, v in groupby(a, key=lambda x: x['name'])}
{'bob': [{'id': 1, 'name': 'bob'}, 
         {'id': 2, 'name': 'bob'}], 
 'peter': [{'id': 3, 'name': 'peter'}]}

Ifilter, imap and izip

Filter, map and zip functions that return generators instead of iterators. Dropped in Pyhon 3, because filter, map and zip functions started returning generators.

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> = globals()  # Global variables.
<dict> = locals()   # Local variables.

Attributes

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

>>> getattr(z, 'a')  # Same as Z.__getattribute__(z, 'a')
'abcde'

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

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

Parameters

>>> from inspect import signature
>>> sig = signature(bla)
>>> len(sig.parameters)
3

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

Eval

Basic

>>> import ast
>>> ast.literal_eval('1 + 1')
2
>>> ast.literal_eval('[1, 2, 3]')
[1, 2, 3]

Detailed

import ast
import operator as op

# Supported operators
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 eval_expr(expr):
    return eval_(ast.parse(expr, mode='eval').body)

def eval_(node):
    if isinstance(node, ast.Num):  # <number>
        return node.n
    elif isinstance(node, ast.BinOp):  # <left> <operator> <right>
        return operators[type(node.op)](eval_(node.left), eval_(node.right))
    elif isinstance(node, ast.UnaryOp):  # <operator> <operand> e.g., -1
        return operators[type(node.op)](eval_(node.operand))
    else:
        raise TypeError(node)

>>> eval_expr('2^6')
4
>>> eval_expr('2**6')
64
>>> eval_expr('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:

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()))

timeit('"-".join(str(n) for n in range(100))', number=1000000, , 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>

Utility code for unique PNG filenames:

def get_filename():
    time_str = get_current_datetime_string()
    return f'profile-{time_str}.png'

def get_current_datetime_string():
    now = datetime.datetime.now()
    return get_datetime_string(now)

def get_datetime_string(a_datetime):
    return a_datetime.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S')

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()

Progress Bar

Basic:

import sys

class Bar():
    @staticmethod
    def range(*args):
        bar = Bar(len(list(range(*args))))
        for i in range(*args):
            yield i 
            bar.tick()
    @staticmethod
    def foreach(elements):
        bar = Bar(len(elements))
        for el in elements:
            yield el
            bar.tick()
    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()

Usage:

from time import sleep
# Range:
for i in Bar.range(100):
    sleep(0.02)
# Foreach:
for el in Bar.foreach(['a', 'b', 'c']):
    sleep(0.02)

Progress:

# $ pip3 install progress
from progress.bar import Bar
from time import sleep
STEPS = 100
bar = Bar('Processing', max=STEPS)
for i in range(STEPS):
    sleep(0.02)
    bar.next()
bar.finish()
