Background

The major reason for writing this book is that only a handful of project-based books existed in 2018. As far as I am aware, even today only a few of them are out there. When learning to program, most books, websites, and tutorials focus on teaching the intricacies of the language. They do not teach how to create and implement end-to-end projects on real-world topics. This often leaves a void in people’s understanding of how to execute on the very things that often inspire them to get into coding.

This book demonstrates how to combine different libraries and frameworks to build amazing end-to-end projects. I use Python 3.8 but it should work with all Python versions above 3.0.

Book Content

A few of the projects that we will be implementing in this book are:

• A Twilio bot that keeps you updated with latest match scores of FIFA World Cup
• A Facebook Messenger bot the shares latest memes, jokes and shower-thoughts scraped from Reddit
• An automated invoice generator and deploying it using Flask
• Making automated cinema-preshow by downloading and stitching together related movie trailers using moviepy
• Generating automated article summaries and overlaying them on top of images that are ready to be uploaded to Instagram
• Understanding and decoding JPEG images using vanilla Python
• Creating a GUI application using PyQt for downloading online videos
• Implementing a TUI email client that allows reading emails in the terminal

This book contains something for programmers of all skill levels. If you know how to use different Python libraries on their own but don’t know how to combine them to make something unique, this book is going to be a treat. A basic familiarity with Python is expected before you start with this book. If you have read any intro to Python book, you should be fine. If you haven’t read any intro book, go through the first few chapters of Automate The Boring Stuff With Python (online version is free) and you should be well equipped to tackle this book.

In this tutorial, you’re going to learn a variety of Python tricks that you can use to write your Python code in a more readable and efficient way like a pro.

Today you're going to learn how to use Python programming in a way that can ultimately save a lot of space on your drive by removing all the duplicates. We gonna use Python OS remove( ) method to remove the duplicates on our drive. Well, that's simple you just call remove ( ) with a parameter of the name of the file you wanna remove done.

In the programming world, Data types play an important role. Each Variable is stored in different data types and responsible for various functions. Python had two different objects, and They are mutable and immutable objects.

Magic Methods are the special methods which gives us the ability to access built in syntactical features such as ‘<’, ‘>’, ‘==’, ‘+’ etc.. You must have worked with such methods without knowing them to be as magic methods. Magic methods can be identified with their names which start with __ and ends with __ like __init__, __call__, __str__ etc. These methods are also called Dunder Methods, because of their name starting and ending with Double Underscore (Dunder).

The OS module is a python module that provides the interface for interacting with the underlying operating system that Python is running.
