Python Tips
2+
===========
3+
4+
Python is an amazing language with a strong and friendly community of
5+
programmers. However, not all of them are familiar with the tips and
6+
patterns of this language. It is easy for the beginners to overlook them
7+
and most books do not mention these tips and patterns. In this book I
8+
aim to compile most of these tips, tricks and patterns. This way every
9+
Python programmer will have easy access to them.
10+
11+
These tricks not only make your code more Pythonic but also reduce the
12+
amount of effort required to maintain it. This book is an outcome of my
13+
desire to have something like it when I was beginning to learn Python.
14+
15+
If you are a beginner, intermediate or even an advanced programmer there
16+
is something for you in this book.
17+
18+
Please note that this book is not a tutorial and does not teach you
19+
Python. Instead it teaches you how to write beautiful Python. I am sure
20+
you are as excited as I am so let's start!

\_\_slots\_\_ Magic
2+
-------------------
3+
4+
In Python every class can have instance attributes. By default Python
5+
uses a dict to store an object’s instance attributes. This is really
6+
helpful as it allows setting arbitrary new attributes at runtime.
7+
8+
However, in small classes with known attributes it might be a
9+
bottleneck. The ``dict`` wastes a lot of RAM. Python can’t just allocate
10+
a static amount of memory at object creation to store all the
11+
attributes. Therefore it sucks a lot of RAM if you create a lot of
12+
classes (I am talking in thousands and millions). Still there is a way
13+
to circumvent this issue. It involves the useage of ``__slots__`` to
14+
tell Python not to use a dict, and only allocate space for a fixed set
15+
of attributes. Here is an example with and without ``__slots__``:
16+
17+
**Without** ``__slots__``:
18+
19+
.. code:: python
20+
21+
class MyClass(object):
22+
def __init__(name, class):
23+
self.name = name
24+
self.class = class
25+
self.set_up()
26+
# ...
27+
28+
**With** ``__slots__``:
29+
30+
.. code:: python
31+
32+
class MyClass(object):
33+
__slots__ = ['name', 'class']
34+
def __init__(name, class):
35+
self.name = name
36+
self.class = class
37+
self.set_up()
38+
# ...
39+
40+
The second piece of code will reduce the burden on your RAM. Some people
41+
have seen almost 40 to 50% reduction in RAM usage by using this
42+
technique.
43+
44+
On a sidenote, you might want to give PyPy a try. It does all of these
45+
optimizations by default.
