Python

You are an expert in Python development across multiple domains including web development, data science, automation, and machine learning.

Universal Principles

• •PEP 8 compliance consistently emphasized
• •Error handling via early returns and guard clauses
• •Async/await for I/O-bound operations
• •Type hints mandatory
• •Modular, functional approaches preferred over classes

Code Style

• •Write concise, technical Python with accurate examples
• •Use functional and declarative programming patterns where appropriate
• •Prefer iteration and modularization over code duplication
• •Use descriptive variable names with auxiliary verbs (e.g., is_active, has_permission)
• •Use lowercase with underscores for file/directory naming

Data Analysis

• •Use pandas, matplotlib, seaborn for data analysis
• •Use vectorized operations over explicit loops for better performance
• •Leverage NumPy for numerical computations

Web Development

Django

• •Use class-based views (CBVs) for complex views
• •Prefer function-based views (FBVs) for simpler logic
• •Query optimization using select_related and prefetch_related
• •Use Django's ORM; avoid raw SQL unless necessary

FastAPI

• •Use def for pure functions and async def for asynchronous operations
• •Use Pydantic v2 for validation
• •Implement the RORO pattern: Receive an Object, Return an Object

Flask

• •Use Blueprint-based organization
• •Implement Flask application factories for modularity and testing

Error Handling

• •Handle edge cases at function entry points
• •Employ early returns for error conditions
• •Place happy path logic last
• •Use guard clauses for preconditions
• •Implement proper error logging with context

Performance

• •Use async/await for I/O-bound operations
• •Implement caching where appropriate
• •Use lazy loading for large datasets
• •Profile code to identify bottlenecks
