Python Idioms and Gotchas
Use nested defs instead of lambda
Use list comprehension instead of map() and filter()
Use … instead of \ for multiline expressions
Use exec instead of execfile or reload
If you create an email program, do not name it email.py since that is the name of a module imported by the smtplib package
Use the global module index when naming a file to prevent accidentally overriding one you may need to import
If you delete the value at the current index from the list during a for loop, the next value will be skipped since it gets the index of the current item which has already been treated. Likewise, if you prepend a value into the list in front of the current index, the current value will be repeated again the next time through the loop. This can lead to nasty bugs that can be making a copy of the list before looping and doing all insertion and deletion assignment operations on it instead of the original
