exists

Python Sets
Create a set # Note: the set list is unordered, meaning: the items will appear in a
thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"} random order.
print(thisset) # Refresh this page to see the change in the result.
 for x in thisset:
Loop through a set print(x)
thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}

thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"} thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
x = thisset.pop() thisset.clear()
print(x) #removed item print(thisset)
print(thisset) #the set after removal

Delete a set Using the set() constructor to create a set

thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"} thisset = set(("apple", "banana", "cherry"))
del thisset print(thisset)
print(thisset) #this will raise an error because the set no longer exists # Note: the set list is unordered, so the result will display the items in
a random order.

x = '{ "name":"John", "age":30, x={ 30}))
"city":"New York"}' "name": "John", print(json.dumps(["apple", "bananas"]))
# parse x: "age": 30, print(json.dumps(("apple", "bananas")))
y = json.loads(x) "city": "New York" print(json.dumps("hello"))
# the result is a Python dictionary: } print(json.dumps(42))
print(y["age"]) # convert into JSON: print(json.dumps(31.76))
y = json.dumps(x) print(json.dumps(True))
# the result is a JSON string: print(json.dumps(False))
print(y) print(json.dumps(None))

Convert a Python object containing all the legal data types Use the indent parameter to define the numbers of indents
import json import json
x={ x={
"name": "John", "name": "John",
"age": 30, "age": 30,
"married": True, "married": True,
"divorced": False, "divorced": False,
"children": ("Ann","Billy"), "children": ("Ann","Billy"),
"pets": None, "pets": None,
"cars": [ "cars": [
{"model": "BMW 230", "mpg": 27.5}, {"model": "BMW 230", "mpg": 27.5},
{"model": "Ford Edge", "mpg": 24.1} {"model": "Ford Edge", "mpg": 24.1}
] ]
} }
# convert into JSON: # use four indents to make it easier to read the result:
y = json.dumps(x) print(json.dumps(x, indent=4))
# the result is a JSON string:
print(y)

Use the separators parameter to change the default separator Use the sort_keys parameter to specify if the result should be sorted

{"model": "Ford Edge", "mpg": 24.1} {"model": "BMW 230", "mpg": 27.5},
] {"model": "Ford Edge", "mpg": 24.1}
} ]
# use . and a space to separate objects, and a space, a = and a space to }
separate keys from their values: # sort the result alphabetically by keys:
print(json.dumps(x, indent=4, separators=(". ", " = "))) print(json.dumps(x, indent=4, sort_keys=True))

Python RegEx
Search a string to see if it starts with "The" and ends with "Spain" Using the findall() function
import re import re
#Check if the string starts with "The" and ends with "Spain": #Return a list containing every occurrence of "ai":
txt = "The rain in Spain" txt = "The rain in Spain"
x = re.search("^The.*Spain$", txt) x = re.findall("ai", txt)
if (x): print(x)
print("YES! We have a match!")
else:
print("No match")
Using the search() function Using the split() function Using the sub() function
import re import re import re
txt = "The rain in Spain" #Split the string at every white-space #Replace all white-space characters with the
x = re.search("\s", txt) character: digit "9":
print("The first white-space character is txt = "The rain in Spain" txt = "The rain in Spain"
located in position:", x.start()) x = re.split("\s", txt) x = re.sub("\s", "9", txt)
print(x) print(x)

Python PIP
Using a package
import camelcase
c = camelcase.CamelCase()
txt = "lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"
print(c.hump(txt))
#This method capitalizes the first letter of each word.

Python Try Except

When an error occurs, print a message Many exceptions
#The try block will generate an error, because x is not defined: #The try block will generate a NameError, because x is not defined:
try: try:
print(x) print(x)
except: except NameError:
print("An exception occurred") print("Variable x is not defined")
except:
print("Something else went wrong")

Use the else keyword to define a block of code to be executed if no Use the finally block to execute code regardless if the try block raises
errors were raised an error or not
#The try block does not raise any errors, so the else block is #The finally block gets executed no matter if the try block raises any
executed: errors or not:
try: try:
print("Hello") print(x)
except: except:
print("Something went wrong") print("Something went wrong")
else: finally:
print("Nothing went wrong") print("The 'try except' is finished")
