Written For Suffering
Pythonistas
This book is written for real programmers living through real debugging.
If that sounds like your crowd, have a read.
From The Book
Add Python to PATH?
It should be checked by default, right?
Of course not. Python treats this checkbox like a trapdoor to test your reflexes.
Veterans hit it so fast they leave fingerprints in the glass.
Beginners miss it and spend three days wondering if Python is a myth.
You edited the wrong version of Python.
You have:
• Python from the Microsoft Store
• Python from python.org
• Python installed by some app
• Python installed by some other app
…
Your laptop is basically a Python refugee camp.
Beginners use print() like it’s duct tape.
Debugging? print()
Confusion? print()
Existential crisis? print() with an emoji they don’t realize won’t render properly.
As a developer gains experience, their search history turns into a psychological thriller.
• ‘pip broke my python again fix pls’
• ‘NONE TYPE ERROR WHY’
• ‘regex not working even though it should be working WHY ISN'T IT WORKING’
These aren’t searches. These are emotional outbursts.
The Print() Surgeon adds print statements everywhere like band-aids on bad decisions.
The Code Deleter wipes out giant blocks of code until the bug stops happening and pretends it was intentional.
The Staring Monk just… stares at the code until the bug confesses out of fear.
The Rewrite Evangelist rewrites the whole project because of one missing parenthesis.
