Python Pick of the Week: Best Python Cheatsheet
For this first post, I have found for you the absolute best Python cheatsheet on the internet. If there is one single resource that covers everything you need to know about Python, it is this cheatsheet. I have seen a hundred cheatsheets including one I have created myself, but this one is so dense that you will rarely need to browse Python documentation.
You can view this cheatsheet online here:

Or download its PDF version here:
The cheatsheet is very up-to-date. It includes new elements of the language such as the Python “match-case” which came out in Python 3.10. The cheatsheet also contains short examples, and it includes advanced Python elements such as OOP.
Of course, you might prefer Google or even ChatGPT to quickly retreive information, but there’s something pleasurable about looking up something on a document, whether it is a PDF or paper.
Have a great weekend!

It is a great cheatsheet, but with LLMs, I think we are moving towards a post-cheatsheet era. I can ask ChatGPT to generate some boilerplate code more quickly than I can find and parse instructions in the cheatsheet. I've been doing a problem solving boot camp to brush up on some std library and problem solving skills that are beginning to atrophy since most of my projects are in maintenance mode now, and the hardest part has been denying myself all of the normal "help" I get from ChatGPT and pycharm(and plugins). I'm doing the problems entirely in notebooks and using documentation and it's a lot harder than I thought it would be.
