4 Powerful Features Python Is Still Missing – Python doesn’t have true constants, nor does it implement features like tail recursion optimization that many compiled languages employ. Find out what other features Python is “missing” when compared to other languages, and why the core developers haven’t added these features to the language.

What Are Python Wheels and Why Should You Care? – In this tutorial, you’ll learn what Python wheels are and why you should care as both a developer and end user of Python packages. You’ll see how the wheel format has gained momentum over the last decade and how it has made the package installation process faster and more stable.

10 Awesome Pythonic One-Liners Explained – Some things in Python are just better on one line.

How to Transcribe Speech Recordings Into Text With Python – Learn to transcribe speech in recordings like MP3s into text with Python and AssemblyAI’s API

Pass by Reference in Python: Background and Best Practices – In this tutorial, you’ll explore the concept of passing by reference and learn how it relates to Python’s own system for handling function arguments. You’ll look at several use cases for passing by reference and learn some best practices for implementing pass-by-reference constructs in Python.

Options for Packaging Your Python Code: Wheels, Conda, Docker, and More – There’s a lot of ways to package your Python code. Find out which one is right for you.
