Does your company have an individual training budget that expires at the end of year? 💸
If you use #Python at work, sign up for the @PythonMorsels All Access plan and submit your training reimbursement before year end. 🐍💼

New blog post: What's great about #Python 3.10?
There's some fun new features, but improved error messages are *the* winning Python 3.10 feature.

When we use keyword/named arguments, it's the name that matters, not the position

You can break up long lines of #Python code with implicit line continuation. PEP 8 recommends relying on implicit line continuation instead of putting a \ at the end of lines to continue them.

What is a list comprehension in #Python? What are they used for and how are they different from a for loop?

A callable is an object that you can call. Functions are callables in #Python, but so are classes (many of the "built-in functions" are actually classes).

Need an attribute that updates its value automatically? Use a property!
In the #Python world, we tend to prefer properties over getter methods.

We have immutable objects in Python but we don't have constant variables.
The UPPERCASE_CONVENTION for constants is just a naming convention in #Python. It doesn't stop variables from being re-assigned.

Checking an object's truthiness checks for non-emptiness and non-zero-ness.
FYI: the #Python docs don't mention "truthy" or "falsey" even once. The docs call it "truth value testing" but Pythonistas rarely use that phrase colloquially.

When teaching Python, I've often wished I had a summary of the various keyword argument-related features that I could link learners to.

Note that because our generator is lazy, we stop computing divisibilities as soon as our all function finds a divisible number.

That's quite a bit shorter, but there's a problem: we're building up an entire list just to loop over it once!

Python has a built-in function "all" that returns True if all items are truthy

Functions in #Python accept positional arguments 🔢 and keyword arguments 📛 (aka named arguments). Using keyword arguments when calling a function can often make your code a bit more descriptive.
