5 Python Tricks Coders Need in 2025
Sheriff Babu — March 14, 2025
I’m back — Chennai’s heat didn’t kill my coding itch. Python’s still my MVP for AI and beyond. Here’s 5 tricks I’ve leaned on in 2025 — steal them.
- List Comprehensions on Steroids
Old:
for x in range(10): list.append(x*x)New:
[x*x for x in range(10)]Cuts lines, runs fast — my data scripts thank me.
2. Lambda for Quick Wins
Need a one-off function?
sorted(data, key=lambda x: x[1])sorts by second item. Saved my stock analysis today.
3. F-Strings Over Format
name = "Sheriff"; print(f"Hi, {name}")beats clunky
.format()Clean, 2025-ready.
4. Zip It Up
names = ["A", "B"]; scores = [90, 85]; pairs = list(zip(names, scores))— pairs lists like magic. AI data prep loves this.
5. Try-Except Like a Pro
try: risky_code() except Exception: pass— no crashes, just control. My drone hacks lean on it.
These got me through a hiatus — X views today say I’m not alone.
