Tuple ordering and deep comparisons in Python
Comparing things in Python. That sounds like something that almost doesn’t even need to be taught. But I’ve found that Python’s comparison operators are often misunderstood and under-appreciated by newer Pythonistas. Let’s review how Python’s comparison operators work on different types of objects and then take a look at how we can use this to improve the readability of our code.
Enforcing Single Responsibility Principle in Python
Single Responsibility Principle (or SRP) is one of the most important concepts in software development. The main idea of this concept is: all pieces of software must have only a single responsibility. Why SRP is important? It is the main idea that stands behind software development. Decompose complex tasks to the set of simple building blocks to compose complex software from them back again. This article will guide you through a complex process of writing simple code.
