Special guest: Adam Hopkins Python Web Development with Sanic Brian #1: Tips for clean code in Python Bob Belderbos Generally some great tips to think about to keep code maintainable: Smaller units.

(even though it’s not really global) Use linters and auto-formatters. Use very narrow try/except blocks. Idiomatic Python. (Although I agree, this is a weird one as it’s hard for new people to follow). Pay attention to data structure choice and learn to utilize standard structures and those in collections.

Try to keep modules organized such that you can keep relevant and related code concepts in your head. Michael #2: Mastod
