Python Tip: Context Managers
from contextlib import contextmanager
@contextmanager
def timer():
start = time.time()
yield
print(f'Took {time.time()-start:.2f}s')
with timer():
heavy_computation()
Create your own context managers with @contextmanager. Clean resource management and timing.

Python Tip: pathlib > os.path
from pathlib import Path
config = Path.home() / '.config' / 'app.json'
if config.exists():
data = config.read_text()
pathlib provides an object-oriented filesystem API. Cleaner than os.path string juggling.

Is there easy to use open-source face tracking software that I can hook up to my webcam and it can tell when I blink? I'd like to track how often I'm doing that, because I suspect it's not often enough.
#Python preferred.

/IM FULL OF JOY.
After, I have visited one of the few arcades in my city. I was fairly disappointed by the game choice. The biggest problem is that most of the newer games play themselves. One was a racing game, and it almost made no difference if you drove straight into a wall or not. You were also bombarded by fancy items. Suffice to say, that I have stayed the remainder of my stay at the pinball machines. I actually never played pinball and was pleasantly surprised how fun it is. My training in 3D Pinball actually paid off, big time.
The reason why I am so joyful is that I have naturally thought about making my own arcade, after seeing in what disastrous state they are (at least here). My first test was if it was feasible to make a GPIO controller I could use to play native games on Linux, and it was such a breeze!!! 
After a quick search, I found python-evdev, which I could easily install thanks to apt and the Raspbian repository. I remember that I always had trouble with Python, but it's so cool to be able to do everything just using apt, and if some dependency is missing, I could easily enable a virtual environment with pip. It even told me that when I tried to do it wrong the first time around! All python-evdev does is inject input right into the kernel of Linux! This is so awesome! I'm amazed at how stupid simple it is. Only been using Linux for a year or so, but every time I learn how smart it is, I am overwhelmed with joy. I wrote a couple of lines of Python, shown below, and was able to create a virtual controller. Running evtest, I was able to see the controller and its inputs, but most critically, when running supertux2, Tux was jumping!
Next up I have to hook up the buttons via GPIO. I already found a library I could use to talk with it more easily https://gpiozero.readthedocs.io.
It's really hard for me to express how happy I am about all those tools we have available, and how well they fit together. It's amazing how I am able to create a virtual controller just from some lines of code, without any drivers that have to be installed in every corner of the OS. Love Python, Love Linux, Love python-evdev and I also still like the Raspberry.
from evdev import UInput, ecodes as e
from time import sleep
capabilities = {
e.EV_KEY: [
e.BTN_A
]
}
ui = UInput(capabilities, name="VirtualController", vendor0x1234, product=0x5678)
while (True):
ui.write(e.EV_KEY, e.BTN_A, 1)
ui.syn()
sleep(1)
ui.write(e.EV_KEY, e.BTN_A, 0)
ui.syn()
sleep(1)

Python mmap: Улучшенный I/O файлов с помощью отображение файлов в память
В Zen of Python есть много мудрых идей. Одна особенно полезная гласит: «Должен быть один — и желательно только один — очевидный способ сделать это». Тем не менее в Python существует несколько способов решить большинство задач. Например, есть разные способы чтения файла в Python, включая редко используемый модуль mmap . В этом руководстве вы узнаете: какие виды компьютерной памяти существуют; какие задачи можно решить с помощью mmap; как использовать отображение в память для более быстрого чтения больших файлов; как изменить часть файла, не перезаписывая весь файл; как использовать mmap для обмена информацией между несколькими процессами.

I've spent the morning reading through https://typing.python.org and am feeling much more positive about relearning #Python. Less like it's a language made out of mashed potatoes and toothpicks.
If you're coming to Python from another language, I'd recommend starting there.
