Since I started learning Python I decided to maintain a list of frequently used "tips". Whenever I see a piece of code that makes me think "Cool, this works!" (in an example, on StackOverflow, in open source software, etc.), I try it until I understand it, and then Add it to the list. This post is part of a cleaned up list. If you are an experienced Python programmer, although you may already know some, you may still discover some you don't know. If you are a C, C++, or Java programmer who is learning Python, or just starting to learn programming, then you will find many of them very useful like I did.
Each trick or language feature can only be verified through examples without excessive explanation. While I've tried to make the examples clear, some of them will still look a little complicated, depending on your familiarity. So if you're not sure after looking at the example, the title can provide enough information for you to get the detailed content through Google.
The list is sorted by difficulty, with commonly used language features and techniques at the front.
1.30 Maximum and minimum elements (heapq.nlargest and heapq.nsmallest)
>>> a = [random.randint(0, 100) for in xrange(100)]
>>> heapq.nsmallest(5, a)
[3, 3, 5, 6, 8]
>>> heapq.nlargest(5, a)
[100, 100, 99, 98, 98]
1.31 Cartesian product(itertools.product)
>>> for p in itertools.product([1, 2, 3], [4, 5]):
(1 , 4)
(1, 5)
(2, 4)
(2, 5)
(3, 4)
(3, 5)
>>> for p in itertools.product([0, 1], repeat=4):
... print ''.join(str(x) for x in p)

1.34 Link iteration (itertools.chain)
>>> a = [1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> for p in itertools .chain(itertools.combinations(a, 2), itertools.combinations(a, 3)):
... print p

1.35 Group rows by given value (itertools.groupby)
>>> from operator import itemgetter
>>> import itertools
>>> with open('contactlenses.csv', 'r') as infile:
... data = [line.strip().split(',') for line in infile]
...
>>> data = data[1:]
>>> def print_data(rows):
... print '\n'.join('\t'.join('{: <16}'.format(s) for s in row) for row in rows)
...
>>> print_data(data)
