Building a Hash Table in Python and Thoughtful REST API Design | Real Python Podcast #104

Показать описание

Do you understand how a hash table works? What if you could learn about building one while practicing test-driven development? What are best practices when designing a REST API? This week on the show, Christopher Trudeau is here, and he's brought another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

We talk about a recent Real Python article titled, "Build a Hash Table in Python With TDD". The tutorial shows how to implement a hash table prototype from scratch in Python. It also provides a hands-on crash course in test-driven development.

Christopher shares an article on designing REST APIs and provides some of his own best practices. We cover implementing authentication, good naming conventions, versioned APIs, and how to specify dates.

We cover several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, removing dead batteries from the standard library, comparing the Python list vs tuple, how to write user-friendly CLIs in Python, just enough Cython to be useful, a cross-platform TUI and ASCII animation Package, and running `black` on Python code blocks in documentation files.
