Long time Python wizard, with ~20 years of experience in full-stack web deployments, dev infrastructure and OSS. Python #1 on StackOverflow.

Learning how to improve your coding skills can be hard. There are no easy, simple rules that fit every situation. Coding is an artform, with different ways of expression the same "idea" (functionality) in different ways, so what makes "good code"?

This collection aims to point to resources and examples of code that I consider "good code". Reading code can give you insights about how those with experience and a feel for the art go about their business.

Books

Books. Often dead tree material based. Like a stack of faxes. Except faxes are now no longer something people relate to. Perhaps I am old now.

Open Source Python libraries

Well-structured Python libraries, that have done a good job of building a good, widely usable API on the basis of good programming.
