Data classes in Python are really powerful and not just for representing structured data. In this video I show you what you can do with dataclasses as well as new capabilities that have been added in Python 3.10.

In this post, we will learn how to construct a control-flow graph (CFG) from a subset of CPython (3.6+) bytecode. We will also coincidentally be using Python (3.6+) as a programming language, but the concepts should be applicable to other bytecode and using other programming languages.

In this video Rob Mulla teaches how to make your pandas dataframes more efficient by casting dtypes correctly. This will make your code faster, use less memory and smaller when saving to disk or a database.

In Python, variables and data structures don’t contain objects. This fact is both commonly overlooked and tricky to internalize. You can happily use Python for years without really understanding the concepts below, but this knowledge can certainly help alleviate many common Python gotchas.
