The language allows for flexibility and customization, and code can be written as desired. The issue is that you&#8217;re interacting with the computer publicly. You must write your code in a way that makes sense to others.<\/p><p>In addition, using incorrect syntax or failing to ensure that you are writing effectively can result in programming errors. Messy code makes it extremely difficult to identify errors later. Readable, clean writing is the way to go, which means developing good coding habits early on so that you can maintain them throughout your career.<\/p><p>Here are six tips for building good coding habits as you start out in Python.<\/p><h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2bd75157b21c4cecca6a2939e7a4768e\">1. Follow the PEP 8 Style&nbsp;Guide<\/h1><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrcoder701.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Leonardo_Kino_XL_An_organized_desk_setup_with_a_laptop_display_0-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1075\"\/><\/figure><p>Copywriters and other content writers usually use something called a style guide. A style guide specifies the formatting and organization of text. It may explain when to use the Oxford comma, title caps, or other structured approaches.<\/p><p>Python has a style guide just like this, known as PEP 8, PEP8, or PEP-8. Several skilled Python developers <a href=\"https:\/\/peps.python.org\/pep-0008\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">published the guide in 2001<\/a> to share how to write perfectly readable and consistent code.<\/p><p>Some tenets include:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Using proper indentation techniques.<\/li>\n\n<li>Staying below the maximum line length of 79 characters.<\/li>\n\n<li>Using line breaks.<\/li>\n\n<li>Employing blank lines\u200a\u2014\u200adouble or single\u200a\u2014\u200afor functions, class, and method definitions.<\/li>\n\n<li>Using proper naming conventions for variables, classes, functions, and so on.<\/li><\/ul><p>If you haven\u2019t yet, read through the Python Pep 8 style guide and make sure you\u2019re following the techniques.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-icon-separator\" role=\"separator\"><div class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-icon-separator__inner icon-center is-align-center\" style=\"--bb-border:1px solid;--bb--icon-width:1em;--bb--icon-spacing:.5em\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xml:space=\"preserve\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n  <path d=\"M5 10c0 1.1-.9 2-2 2s-2-.9-2-2 .9-2 2-2 2 .9 2 2m12-2c-1.1 0-2 .9-2 2s.9 2 2 2 2-.9 2-2-.9-2-2-2m-7 0c-1.1 0-2 .9-2 2s.9 2 2 2 2-.9 2-2-.9-2-2-2\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/div><\/div><h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9b6a8697ded5a84d42d9c57526373ab6\">2. Use the Newest Python&nbsp;Version<\/h1><p>Programming languages, such as Python, go through numerous iterations during their lifetime. Old versions are typically phased out in favor of newer releases. Generally, the most recent release includes bug fixes as well as security or performance enhancements.<\/p><p>At a minimum, use Python 3 over Python 2, as the older version <a href=\"https:\/\/www.python.org\/doc\/sunset-python-2\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">has reached end-of-life status<\/a> as of January 2020. Also, when working with third-party modules, frameworks or repositories, always reference the Minimum Required Python Version. This is the oldest version of Python that is compatible with the related components.<\/p><p>In the moment as you\u2019re writing your code, you know what you\u2019re trying to achieve. When you read that code later, you might forget\u200a\u2014\u200aor worse yet, if someone else is reading that code, they might find themselves perplexed. That\u2019s what comments are for.<\/p><p>Every language has a way to \u201ccomment out\u201d certain sections of code. The idea is to use descriptive yet succinct comments to explain what\u2019s happening. Some developers forget to do this entirely, but if you start early and always follow the rule, you\u2019ll be able to write easily followable syntax.<\/p><p>In Python, you use a \u201c#\u201d symbol at the start of the comment to comment out a line. To write a multi-line comment, you can use triple quotes (\u2018\u2019\u2019) at the beginning or end or multiple hashtags per line.<\/p><p><code>#This is a regular comment.<\/code><\/p><pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">''' This is a multi-line comment. To explain what the code is doing. '''<\/pre><p>Commenting can be a vital part of the coding process as it allows you to better remember and visualize the ideas going through your mind as you\u2019re coding.<\/p><p>According to experts, handwriting your notes and then transcribing them digitally through things like commenting <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.box.com\/best-note-taking-methods\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">improves your retention by 75<\/a> percent. This means, when you discover a bug or want to make improvements later, you can more easily recall the relevant code snippets.<\/p><p>Inline comments can also appear in the same line as a point of code. For example:<\/p><p><code>print (\"Hello World. This is my first code.\") # This is how you create an inline comment<\/code><\/p><div class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-icon-separator\" role=\"separator\"><div class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-icon-separator__inner icon-center is-align-center\" style=\"--bb-border:1px solid;--bb--icon-width:1em;--bb--icon-spacing:.5em\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xml:space=\"preserve\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n  <path d=\"M5 10c0 1.1-.9 2-2 2s-2-.9-2-2 .9-2 2-2 2 .9 2 2m12-2c-1.1 0-2 .9-2 2s.9 2 2 2 2-.9 2-2-.9-2-2-2m-7 0c-1.1 0-2 .9-2 2s.9 2 2 2 2-.9 2-2-.9-2-2-2\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/div><\/div><h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-afdb067c81212f4c979f1d5c05661cc3\">4. Use a&nbsp;Linter<\/h1><p>A Python linter checks code spacing, line length, and other design criteria such as argument positioning. As a result, your code appears to be clean, well-organized, and written consistently across multiple project files.<\/p><p>Bear in mind that a linter is different from an auto-formatter or beautifier\u200a\u2014\u200aalthough, in modern coding, the same tool may handle both of these support functions. You can think of a linter as something that fixes practical issues versus an auto-formatter, which fixes more of the styling.<\/p><p>Linters can analyze and identify coding errors, potential bugs, misspellings or syntax problems, but also stylistic inconsistencies, such as how you\u2019re using indents and spacing. Auto-formatters focus on the writing or stylistic part of syntax like commas, quotes, proper line length and so on. Both are helpful, but you seldom want to code without a linter handy.<\/p><p>Some examples of the best Python linters include Pylint, Flake8, Ruff, Xenon and Radon, among others. The linter used in the following screenshot is Ruff, installed via VSCode.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"370\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrcoder701.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1077\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-icon-separator\" role=\"separator\"><div class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-icon-separator__inner icon-center is-align-center\" style=\"--bb-border:1px solid;--bb--icon-width:1em;--bb--icon-spacing:.5em\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xml:space=\"preserve\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n  <path d=\"M5 10c0 1.1-.9 2-2 2s-2-.9-2-2 .9-2 2-2 2 .9 2 2m12-2c-1.1 0-2 .9-2 2s.9 2 2 2 2-.9 2-2-.9-2-2-2m-7 0c-1.1 0-2 .9-2 2s.9 2 2 2 2-.9 2-2-.9-2-2-2\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/div><\/div><h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-513b3a8b74e79b37d2a5bb29c9e1e704\">5. Rely on Built-In Functions and Libraries<\/h1><p>The beauty of Python and similar languages is that you never have to start from scratch. You can use built-in functions, libraries, frameworks, and repositories instead of writing each function or achievement from scratch.<\/p><p>Built-in functions save you time, give you working functions, and are generally managed by a group of developers. More importantly, they boost the performance of your code and software. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.python.org\/3\/library\/functions.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reference the official Python documentation<\/a> to see built-in language functions.<\/p><p>Some examples include:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><code>append()<\/code><strong>:<\/strong> Takes a single item and adds it to a list, modifying an existing list by adding to it and increasing the list by one<\/li>\n\n<li><code>eval()<\/code><strong>:<\/strong> Evaluates any specified expression as if it\u2019s an official Python statement<\/li>\n\n<li><code>id()<\/code><strong>:<\/strong> Used to reference the unique identity of an object or integer<\/li>\n\n<li><code>max()<\/code><strong>:<\/strong> Returns the maximum value of an iterable from multiple given values<\/li>\n\n<li><code>print()<\/code><strong>:<\/strong> Displays or returns text variables to the Python console<\/li>\n\n<li><code>round()<\/code><strong>:<\/strong> Rounds up a number or value to a given decimal place<\/li><\/ul><p>Using the most common beginner\u2019s tutorial, when you use the <code>print()<\/code> function, it looks something like this:<\/p><pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>print(\u201cHello world I am coding.\u201d)<\/code><\/pre><p>That will return:<\/p><p>Hello world I am coding<\/p><p>That built-in function will always be recognized regardless of the IDE or coding environment you\u2019re using, which applies to all built-in functions from append() to round().<\/p><p>On the other hand, libraries are numerous and varied\u200a\u2014\u200athey\u2019re much larger collections of pre-written code or functions. To use or reference libraries and their functions, you merely import them into your Python script. Examples are Requests, FastAPI, Asyncio, aiohttp, Tkinter, and more.<\/p><hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/><div class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-icon-separator\" role=\"separator\"><div class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-icon-separator__inner icon-center is-align-center\" style=\"--bb-border:1px solid;--bb--icon-width:1em;--bb--icon-spacing:.5em\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xml:space=\"preserve\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n  <path d=\"M5 10c0 1.1-.9 2-2 2s-2-.9-2-2 .9-2 2-2 2 .9 2 2m12-2c-1.1 0-2 .9-2 2s.9 2 2 2 2-.9 2-2-.9-2-2-2m-7 0c-1.1 0-2 .9-2 2s.9 2 2 2 2-.9 2-2-.9-2-2-2\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/div><\/div><h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-98bc36e1510723e5c1db3fb265a394f3\">6. Fix Code Issues as Soon as\u00a0Possible<\/h1><p>When writing code, if you notice something is awry, fix it right then and there. Don\u2019t put it off or wait until you\u2019re testing later. You might misplace the bug or error\u200a\u2014\u200aand imagine if you cannot find it again. Between <a href=\"https:\/\/codescene.com\/blog\/measuring-the-business-impact-of-low-code-quality\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">23%-42% of a developer\u2019s time<\/a> is wasted due to bad code, which is valuable time you could be spending elsewhere.<\/p><p>Most of all, bugs and errors compound over time, so the longer you leave it, the more likely entire segments of your code will error out or stop working. Many IDEs and linters can help with this process, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.python.org\/3\/library\/logging.html#module-logging\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">if you\u2019re using the logging module<\/a> instead of merely printing results.<\/p><p>Python\u2019s logging module tracks events during runtime\u200a\u2014\u200awhen a program is running. Essentially, this allows you to identify problems or errors while testing your code. It may flag warnings pertaining to errors, debugging or code-related events, but it can also help you understand the runtime behavior of your project\u200a\u2014\u200aall things you might overlook during the writing process.<\/p><p>You can see and analyze user interactions, for example, especially if external users are testing your application. Most importantly, the logging module is an audit tool that\u2019s invaluable once you start testing or running the code you\u2019ve written. Don\u2019t code without it.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-icon-separator\" role=\"separator\"><div class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-icon-separator__inner icon-center is-align-center\" style=\"--bb-border:1px solid;--bb--icon-width:1em;--bb--icon-spacing:.5em\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xml:space=\"preserve\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n  <path d=\"M5 10c0 1.1-.9 2-2 2s-2-.9-2-2 .9-2 2-2 2 .9 2 2m12-2c-1.1 0-2 .9-2 2s.9 2 2 2 2-.9 2-2-.9-2-2-2m-7 0c-1.1 0-2 .9-2 2s.9 2 2 2 2-.9 2-2-.9-2-2-2\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/div><\/div><h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e54b58eed931dba993899d7d4447756f\">Practice Makes&nbsp;Perfect<\/h1><p>There are numerous factors to consider when working with Python, regardless of your level of skill or experience. It is always a good idea to follow Python best practices. But, in the end, the best way to learn is always through hands-on experience, which includes practice.<\/p><p>Continue to use Python, even if it is only to create simple or small projects for yourself. Practice implementing the habits discussed here and writing clean code. You should also read other developers&#8217; code to learn how they approach the process.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-icon-separator\" role=\"separator\"><div class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-icon-separator__inner icon-center is-align-center\" style=\"--bb-border:1px solid;--bb--icon-width:1em;--bb--icon-spacing:.5em\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xml:space=\"preserve\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n  <path d=\"M5 10c0 1.1-.9 2-2 2s-2-.9-2-2 .9-2 2-2 2 .9 2 2m12-2c-1.1 0-2 .9-2 2s.9 2 2 2 2-.9 2-2-.9-2-2-2m-7 0c-1.1 0-2 .9-2 2s.9 2 2 2 2-.9 2-2-.9-2-2-2\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/div><\/div><h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cf4f818f36c027ffafaf1c52a0d2feae\" id=\"d6bb\">A Note From the Author<\/h1><p id=\"5317\">Thank you so much for taking the time to read the story.
