This repository contains the source code for the examples from "Dead Simple Python" by Jason C. McDonald (No Starch Press, October 2022).

All coding examples have been tested up to Python 3.10, but should work forward to the latest Python. If you encounter any bugs, errors, typos, omissions, or forward compatibility issues, please open an Issue.

Dead Simple Python introduces the entire Python language to existing developers who are impatient to write production code. Instead of rehashing elementary computer science topics, the book dives deep into idiomatic Python patterns and the reasoning behind them. Packed with nuanced coding examples, this comprehensive guided tour of Python touches every single facet of the core language. Looking in, Python's patterns may look unusual, but looking back, you will agree they really are Dead Simple!

That said, I recognize that some examples herein are fairly rudimentary. Use common sense and common courtesy. If you get the syntax or technique from me, but incorporate it into your own original code, I don't expect attribution. On the other hand, if you get the whole example from me, and just change the variable names, it's probably not okay.
