Python’s “fast enough” era might be ending. 🚗💨 Serdar Yegulalp’s roundup digs into Python’s new *native JIT*—a potentially game-changing speed boost that aims to make existing code run faster with *less* developer contortion (no “rewrite it in C” rites of passage)… though the early ride still has a few bumps. What I found especially interesting: this isn’t just about raw CPU wins. It’s a signal that the Python ecosystem is attacking friction from multiple angles at once: - **Performance** (JIT + real benchmarks, not vibes) - **Data work** (Pandas now, Pandas 3 looming) - **Tooling ergonomics** (SQLite finally getting GUIs worth using) - **Editor competition** (Zed, Rust-powered, eyeing VS Code’s crown) Worth a read if you care about how Python stays *pleasant* while getting *serious* about speed. https://lnkd.in/eNT-5CE7 #Python #CPython #JIT #PerformanceEngineering #Pandas #SQLite #DeveloperTools #SoftwareDevelopment #Programming Security is a streak you can’t afford to break.

Python GIL explained in simple words Python has something called the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL). It means: only one thread can execute Python code at a time inside a single process. Now, why does Python do this? 🧠 The reason Python manages memory automatically (garbage collection, reference counting). If multiple threads modified memory at the same time, it could cause crashes and corrupted data. So the GIL: Protects memory Keeps Python simple and stable Makes single-thread execution very fast Yes, this safety comes with extra memory overhead, because Python needs bookkeeping to manage threads safely. ⚡ What about performance? Here’s the important part many people miss: I/O-bound tasks (API calls, database queries, file reads): 👉 Performance is excellent because threads release the GIL while waiting. CPU-bound tasks (heavy calculations, loops): 👉 Threads won’t scale — but Python gives alternatives: Multiprocessing Async programming Native extensions (C/C++) ✅ The takeaway The GIL is not a performance bug. It’s a design trade-off: Slight memory overhead In exchange for simplicity, safety, and great real-world performance Most backend systems are I/O-heavy — and for those, Python performs just fine 🚀 #Python #GIL #Concurrency #BackendEngineering #SoftwareDevelopment

🧠 Python Concept That Helps Memory Management: weakref Sometimes… you want to reference an object without owning it 🧠💡 🤔 What Is weakref? A weak reference lets you point to an object without preventing it from being garbage collected. In short: 💻 Normal reference → keeps object alive 💻 Weak reference → lets Python delete it when unused 🧪 Example import weakref class User: pass u = User() r = weakref.ref(u) print(r()) # <__main__.User object> del u print(r()) # None 👀 The object is gone when nothing else needs it. 🧒 Simple Explanation Imagine borrowing a toy 🧸 💫 A normal reference = you keep the toy forever 💫 A weak reference = you only remember the toy 💫 If the owner takes it back, your memory disappears too. 💡 Why This Is Useful ✔ Prevents memory leaks ✔ Used in caches & observers ✔ Helps large applications ✔ Advanced Python concept ⚠️ When to Use 🖱️ Caching systems 🖱️ Event listeners 🖱️ Circular references 🖱️ Long-running apps 🐍 Python doesn’t just manage memory for you… 🐍 It gives you tools to manage it intelligently 🐍 weakref is one of those tools you don’t need every day — until you really do. #Python #PythonTips #PythonTricks #Weakref #AdvancedPython #CleanCode #LearnPython #Programming #DeveloperLife #DailyCoding #100DaysOfCode

⚠️ Python Gotcha: Defining the Same Method Twice in a Class Did you know that Python does NOT support method overloading by definition order inside a class? Consider this scenario 👇 You define the same method name twice inside a class, expecting both to exist… Only the LAST definition survives. What actually happens? Python reads the class top to bottom When it sees the second func1, it completely overwrites the first one The first method is lost and ignored No warning. No error. Just replacement. Example outcome Nirmal.func1(2, 4) Runs the second version only Output: Good Morning Result is: 6 🚨 Key Takeaways Python does not support traditional method overloading Method names inside a class must be unique If you need different behaviors: Use different method names Or use default parameters / *args / conditional logic 🧠 Pro Tip If your logic seems to “mysteriously change” — check whether a method name was accidentally redefined. Learning these small details makes a big difference in writing clean, predictable Python code 🐍 #Python #OOP #ProgrammingTips #LearningPython #Developers #CodeSmart

Day 1: Started My Python Learning Journey! 🐍 Today I dove into Python fundamentals and learned some core concepts that every beginner should know. Here's what I covered: What is Python? Python is a high-level, interpreted language known for its simplicity and readability. Created by Guido van Rossum in 1991, it's perfect for beginners and powerful for professionals. It's used everywhere - web development, AI, data science, and automation! Python Execution Process: Learned how Python runs code: Write Code → Compilation (to bytecode) → Interpreter (PVM) → Output. Understanding this helps debug better! Key Concepts I Mastered: ✅ Comments - Documenting code with #, """ """, and inline comments ✅ Print Parameters - Using sep and end to format output beautifully ✅ Types of Data - Integer, Decimal (Float), Single Character, String, and Boolean ✅ Variables - Dynamic typing means no declaration needed! Variables can change type anytime ✅ Identifiers - Rules for naming variables: start with letter/underscore, no spaces, case-sensitive, no keywords #Python #LearnPython #PythonProgramming #CodingJourney #Day1 #100DaysOfCode #BeginnerProgrammer #TechLearning

Why does Python sometimes need an __init__.py file (even when it’s empty)❔ __init__.py tells Python: “This folder is a package.” Before Python 3.3, imports failed without it. Even today, it’s useful for: 1. Explicit package boundaries 2. Package-level initialization 3. Clean public APIs 4. Better tool & framework compatibility Example: ➡️ Folder structure utils/ ├── __init__.py └── helpers.py ➡️ helpers.py file def greet(): return "Hello Ansh!" Now, ➡️ from utils.helpers import greet (this works because "utils" is a package) Rule of thumb: If you want clarity, control, and fewer surprises 😊 keep __init__.py.

Multiple inheritance in Python can be powerful when a class genuinely needs to combine behaviors from different parents (e.g., a string-like object that also counts elements). But the moment those inheritance paths reconnect, you run into the classic diamond problem: the same base class can be reached through multiple routes, so method lookup can become ambiguous if it isn’t handled consistently. Python addresses this with the Method Resolution Order (MRO), computed via C3 linearization. In practice, this gives a predictable search path for attributes and methods: subclasses are checked before base classes, and the order of base classes in the class definition matters. When things are well-formed, you can always inspect the exact lookup chain using ClassName.__mro__ to understand why a specific method implementation is selected. super() fits into this same model: it forwards the call to the next class in the MRO—not simply “the parent.” That makes cooperative multiple inheritance possible (especially with mixins), but it also raises the bar for design discipline. When the goal is clean, safe APIs, the recommended default is often composition over inheritance, keeping mixins small and focused, and using narrower interfaces (e.g., protocols) so classes expose only what they truly need. #Python #SoftwareEngineering #OOP #Programming #CleanCode

A circular reference happens when two or more objects reference each to other. For example: list A contains a reference to list B and B contains ref back to list A. This creates a cycle. The problem is that Python mainly uses reference counting to delete Objects. An object is removed only when it's reference count becomes 0. In a circular reference, each object still has at least one reference form the other, so their reference count never reaches 0, and they are automatically deleted. This can cause memory to stay used longer than needed. How can python delete this circular reference ? the solution is Python's Garbage collector (GC). It can delect groups of objects that are no longer reachable from the program, even if they reference each other, and it removes them to free memory very simple example : import GC a = [] b = [] a.append(b) b.append(a) del a del b GC.collect() #python #garbageCollector #(GC) #dev #deeplearning #programmation #pythonDev

>>> import this The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters Beautiful is better than ugly. Explicit is better than implicit. Simple is better than complex. Complex is better than complicated. Flat is better than nested. Sparse is better than dense. Readability counts. Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules. Although practicality beats purity. Errors should never pass silently. Unless explicitly silenced. In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess. There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it. Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch. Now is better than never. Although never is often better than *right* now. If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea. If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea. Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those! . . The Zen of Python is a: Listing of Python design principles and philosophies that are helpful in understanding and using the language. The listing can be found by typing “import this” at the interactive prompt. (Source) . #DataScience #MachineLearning #ArtificialIntelligence #Tech #Programming #SoftwareEngineer #datos #datasets

Why pop(0) can bring a Python service to halt, literally! If we need to manage a queue of tasks, first instinct is likely tasks = []. It works perfectly in testing with 100 items. But it would be disaster for 100000 items. Python lists are dynamic arrays. All items live in a single, contiguous block of memory. 1. append() → fast (O(1)) 2. pop(0) → very slow (O(n)) Why? Removing the first element means every remaining item must be shifted one slot to the left in memory. The solution is using Queues, specifically Double-Ended Queue (deque). Internally, a deque is implemented as a Doubly Linked List. - To remove the first item, Python just updates a pointer. No items are moved. - The cost is always Constant Time (O(1)), regardless of data size. Takeaway - Choose your collection based on the Access Pattern and not habits. 1. Need Random Access? Use a List. 2. Need a Queue? Use a Deque. I’m deep-diving into Python internals and performance. Do follow along and tell your experiences in comments. #Python #PythonInternals #SoftwareEngineering #BackendDevelopment
