— Mark Lutz

“We met the list comprehension briefly in Chapter 4. Syntactically, its syntax is derived from a construct in set theory notation that applies an operation…

Once you succeed in writing the programs for [these] complicated algorithms, they usually run extremely fast. The computer doesn't need to understand the algorithm,…

— Robert Tarjan

“Python is good enough for code that only has to respond to a single user at human speed, but not usually for code that…

— Anonymous

“map is similar to a list comprehension but is more limited because it requires a function instead of an arbitrary expression.”

— Mark Lutz

Python is an experiment in how much freedom programmers need. Too much freedom and nobody can read another's code; too little and expressiveness is…

— Guido van Rossum

Now, it's my belief that Python is a lot easier than to teach to students programming and teach them C or C++ or Java…

By understanding a machine-oriented language, the programmer will tend to use a much more efficient method; it is much closer to reality.

— Donald Knuth

“when in Pythonland, do as Pythonistas do, not as C programmers do.”

— Mark Lutz

It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.

— Alan Perlis

The faster I write the better my output. If I'm going slow, I'm in trouble. It means I'm pushing the words instead of being…

“Interestingly, the iteration protocol is even more pervasive in Python today than the examples so far have demonstrated — essentially everything in Python’s built-in…
