# You Should Know:
Essential Python Commands & Practices
1. Virtual Environment Setup:
python -m venv myenv source myenv/bin/activate # Linux/Mac myenv\Scripts\activate # Windows
2. Installing Packages:
pip install numpy pandas flask django
3. Running a Python Script:
python script.py
4. Debugging with `pdb`:
import pdb; pdb.set_trace() # Add breakpoint
5. File Handling:
with open('file.txt', 'r') as file: content = file.read()
6. List Comprehensions:
squares = [x2 for x in range(10)]
7. Git Basics:
git init git add . git commit -m "Initial commit" git push origin main
8. Dockerizing a Python App:
FROM python:3.9 WORKDIR /app COPY requirements.txt . RUN pip install -r requirements.txt COPY . . CMD ["python", "app.py"]
9. Running a Flask App:
export FLASK_APP=app.py # Linux/Mac set FLASK_APP=app.py # Windows flask run
10. Data Analysis with Pandas:
import pandas as pd df = pd.read_csv('data.csv') print(df.head())
# What Undercode Say:
Mastering Python requires structured learning and hands-on practice. Start with fundamentals, then explore specialized fields like web development, data science, or automation. Use version control (Git), containerization (Docker), and cloud platforms for real-world applications. Contribute to open-source projects and stay updated with Python’s evolving ecosystem.
# Expected Output:
A well-structured Python learning path with practical commands, DevOps integration, and best practices for aspiring developers.
