#Tip #Python

bin() and int() convert between a binary string (prefixed with "0b") and an integer number:

>>> bin(101)
'0b1100101'
>>> int('0b00011001', 2)
25

That could be useful for bitwise binary operators like AND, OR or XOR:

>>> a, b = 101, 25
>>> a & b
1
>>> a | b
125
>>> a ^ b
124

Did you know that you can give #Python's print an iterator and a separator?

So in this example you don't need the for loop

Elegant #Python: use * to unpack a sequence.

#Python functions are first-class objects so you can access their attributes like this.

The #Python requests library lets you conveniently choose if you want to raise an exception or not.

Did you know #Python's random module has a function called "randrange" that lets you choose a random item from range(start, stop[, step]) ?

In #Python you can chain comparison operators ...

Instead of writing "1 < a and a < 10" you can write "1 < a < 10", a bit more concise.

👴 #Python wisdom for the day: you can directly call methods on integers (remember, Python is fully object-oriented; no automatic boxing needed here 😉)

🐍Python Tip: To convert your strings to be URL friendly. For example, when constructing an API request/query strings, you can use urllib's quote method like so 👆🏻
