Chapter 4: Python Libraries for Advanced Programming
In previous chapters, we have discussed different approaches to building modular and reusable programs in Python. In this chapter, we will investigate a few advanced concepts of the Python programming language such as iterators, generators, logging, and error handling. These concepts are important to write efficient and reusable code. For this chapter, we assume that you are familiar with the Python language syntax and know how to write control and loop structures.
In this chapter, we will learn how loops work in Python, how files are handled and what is the best practice to open and access files, and how to handle erroneous situations, which may be expected or unexpected. We will also investigate the logging support in Python and different ways of configuring the logging system. This chapter will also help you learn how to use the advanced libraries in Python for building complex projects.
We will cover the following topics...
