Summary

This now finishes our look at Python and it certainly has been a brief tour. We can again emphasize the similarities that you will see in many languages and the importance of learning any coding language. What you learn in one language will help in most of the other languages that you come across.

What we learn from the Zen of Python will help us design and develop a great code. We can print the Zen of Python using the following Python code:

>>>import this

We can type the code on the REPL prompt. Keeping your code clean and well-spaced out will aid in the readability and ultimately this will help with the maintenance of the code.

We have also seen that the Python likes you to be explicit in your code and will not implicitly convert the data types.

We are also at the end of the book but hopefully, the start of your scripting career. Good luck and thank you for reading.
