Python can substitute an empty context manager without conditions inside!

It often happens that a resource needs to be opened via with, and sometimes the object is already ready and there's no need to open anything.

This usually leads to code duplication or conditions around with:

if need_open:
    f = open(...)
else:
    f = existing_file

`nullcontext(obj) behaves like an empty context manager and allows you to maintain a single execution flow.

This is especially useful for APIs, tests, optional resources, dependency injection, and functions that can accept both a path and a ready-made object.


with ctx as resource:
    process(resource)

But note that nullcontext() does not close the passed object — it simply passes it on further.

🔥 nullcontext() helps to unify scenarios with optional context managers and significantly simplifies the architecture of IO code.

Do you know that Python can shift sequences without slicing and creating new lists?

When you need to cyclically shift data, many use slicing:

data = data[-1:] + data[:-1]

But deque.rotate() does this at the level of the data structure and usually works more efficiently for cyclical operations.

q.rotate(1)

A negative value rotates the queue in the other direction.

q.rotate(-2)

This is useful for ring buffers, task schedulers, cyclical queues, and round-robin algorithms.

workers.rotate(-1)

🔥 deque.rotate() allows you to implement cyclical data structures without manual index logic and without creating new lists.
