Python Tip #58 (of 365):
Aggregate with reducer functions.
You can combine generator expressions with reducer functions to lazily pre-process data before it's aggregated.
sum(), math.prod(), the string join() method, and any()/all() can all be thought of as reducer functions.
Reducer functions accept an iterable and reduce it down to a single object.
Generator expressions pair well with collection constructors (as in tip #57) AND with reducer functions.

Python Tip: defaultdict Magic
from collections import defaultdict
groups = defaultdict(list)
for item in data:
groups[item.category].append(item)
# No KeyError, auto-creates lists
defaultdict creates missing keys automatically. No more 'if key not in dict' checks.

Python Tip: match/case (Structural Pattern Matching)
match command.split():
case ['go', direction]:
move(direction)
case ['pick', 'up', item]:
grab(item)
case _:
print('Unknown command')
Python 3.10 match/case goes beyond switch statements. It destructures and binds variables.

Six years ago I taught my first student Python programming for a non-profit alternative school. Fast forward today and that student is now a man, and he is teaching Python to kids who are on the spectrum at that same school. This is probably the proudest moment in my career.

Deprecate confusing APIs like “os.path.commonprefix()”. After fixing a vulnerability in #pip, I started digging into the confusing API and found more than I expected.
