Python tip:

Using built-in functions makes your code shorter and makes you look like a genius.

Traditional way 👇

def find_max(numbers):
    max_num = numbers[0]
    for num in numbers:
        if num > max_num:
            max_num = num
    return max_num

numbers = [4, 2, 9, 7, 5, 6]
print(find_max(numbers))

# Output: 9

Genius way 👇

def find_max(numbers):
    return max(numbers)

numbers = [4, 2, 9, 7, 5, 6]
print(find_max(numbers))

# Output: 9

Slugify module

A slug is a simplified version of a title or name where special characters are replaced with hyphens (-), and all letters are converted to lowercase. For example, the title "How to create a slug in Python!" becomes "how-to-create-a-slug-in-python"

A slug is a friendly and readable string format commonly used in URLs to identify a resource.
 

from slugify import slugify

title = "Example post about creating slugs"
slug = slugify(title)
print(slug)  # output: example-post-about-creating-slugs

🔸The string is converted to lowercase.
🔸Special characters and spaces are removed and replaced with hyphens.
🔸The result is short and easy to read.

Library installation:

pip install python-slugify

html-to-markdown

A modern, fully typed Python library for converting HTML to Markdown. This library is a completely rewritten fork of markdownify with a modernized codebase, strict type safety and support for Python 3.9+.

Features:
⭐️ Full HTML5 Support: Comprehensive support for all modern HTML5 elements including semantic, form, table, ruby, interactive, structural, SVG, and math elements
⭐️ Enhanced Table Support: Advanced handling of merged cells with rowspan/colspan support for better table representation
⭐️ Type Safety: Strict MyPy adherence with comprehensive type hints
Metadata Extraction: Automatic extraction of document metadata (title, meta tags) as comment headers
⭐️ Streaming Support: Memory-efficient processing for large documents with progress callbacks
⭐️ Highlight Support: Multiple styles for highlighted text (<mark> elements)
⭐️ Task List Support: Converts HTML checkboxes to GitHub-compatible task list syntax

nstallation

pip install html-to-markdown

Optional lxml Parser
For improved performance, you can install with the optional lxml parser:

pip install html-to-markdown[lxml]

The lxml parser offers:

🆘 ~30% faster HTML parsing compared to the default html.parser
🆘 Better handling of malformed HTML
🆘 More robust parsing for complex documents

Quick Start
Convert HTML to Markdown with a single function call:

from html_to_markdown import convert_to_markdown

html = """
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Sample Document</title>
    <meta name="description" content="A sample HTML document">
</head>
<body>
    <article>
        <h1>Welcome</h1>
        <p>This is a <strong>sample</strong> with a <a href="https://example.com">link</a>.</p>
        <p>Here's some <mark>highlighted text</mark> and a task list:</p>
        <ul>
            <li><input type="checkbox" checked> Completed task</li>
            <li><input type="checkbox"> Pending task</li>
        </ul>
    </article>
</body>
</html>
"""

markdown = convert_to_markdown(html)
print(markdown)

Working with BeautifulSoup:
If you need more control over HTML parsing, you can pass a pre-configured BeautifulSoup instance:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from html_to_markdown import convert_to_markdown

# Configure BeautifulSoup with your preferred parser
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")  # Note: lxml requires additional installation
markdown = convert_to_markdown(soup)

Regular Expressions in Python

Regular expressions (regex) in #Python are used for searching, matching, and manipulating strings based on patterns. In Python, regular expressions are implemented in the re module.

Main functions of the re module:

🔸re.match(): Checks if the beginning of a string matches a given pattern.
🔸re.search(): Searches for a pattern in a string and returns the first matching object found.
🔸re.findall(): Finds all occurrences of a pattern in a string and returns them as a list.
🔸re.finditer(): Finds all occurrences of a pattern and returns them as an iterator.
🔸re.sub(): Replaces all occurrences of a pattern with a given string.
🔸re.split(): Splits a string by a given pattern.

Usage examples:

import re

# Example string
text = "The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain."

# 1. re.match()
match = re.match(r'The', text)
if match:
    print("Match found:", match.group())
else:
    print("No match found")

# 2. re.search()
search = re.search(r'rain', text)
if search:
    print("Search found:", search.group())
else:
    print("No search found")

# 3. re.findall()
findall = re.findall(r'in', text)
print("Findall results:", findall)

# 4. re.finditer()
finditer = re.finditer(r'in', text)
for match in finditer:
    print("Finditer match:", match.group(), "at position", match.start())

# 5. re.sub()
substitute = re.sub(r'rain', 'snow', text)
print("Substitute result:", substitute)

# 6. re.split()
split = re.split(r'\s', text)
print("Split result:", split)

Explanation of the example:

> re.match(r'The', text): Checks if the string text starts with "The".
> re.search(r'rain', text): Searches for the first occurrence of "rain" in the string text.
> re.findall(r'in', text): Finds all occurrences of "in" in the string text.
> re.finditer(r'in', text): Returns an iterator that iterates over all occurrences of "in" in the string text.
> re.sub(r'rain', 'snow', text): Replaces all occurrences of "rain" with "snow" in the string text.
> re.split(r'\s', text): Splits the string text by spaces (whitespace characters).

Additional pattern examples:

\d: Any digit.
\D: Any character except a digit.
\w: Any letter, digit, or underscore.
\W: Any character except a letter, digit, or underscore.
\s: Any whitespace character.
\S: Any non-whitespace character.
.: Any character except a newline.
^: Start of the string.
$: End of the string.
*: 0 or more repetitions.
+: 1 or more repetitions.
?: 0 or 1 repetition.
{n}: Exactly n repetitions.
{n,}: n or more repetitions.
{n,m}: Between n and m repetitions.

Regular expressions are a powerful tool for working with text and can be useful in a wide range of tasks, from simple input validation to complex text parsing. 💊
