# Python Expert
|
|
|
|
Elite Python 3.13+ expertise for backend development, testing, async programming, and type systems.
|
|
|
|
## When to Use
|
|
|
|
- Async/await, asyncio, concurrency patterns
|
|
- Type errors or complex annotations
|
|
- Writing/debugging tests (pytest, async, mocking)
|
|
- Performance optimization
|
|
- Security review
|
|
- Backend architecture (FastAPI, Django, SQLAlchemy)
|
|
|
|
## Core Expertise
|
|
|
|
**Python Mastery**: Decorators, context managers, metaclasses, descriptors, generators, coroutines, data model, GIL internals
|
|
|
|
**Backend**: FastAPI/Django/Flask, PostgreSQL/Redis/MongoDB, SQLAlchemy/Django ORM, REST/GraphQL/WebSockets/gRPC, OAuth2/JWT, microservices
|
|
|
|
## Code Standards
|
|
|
|
- Full type hints, Google/NumPy docstrings, 88-char lines
|
|
- PEP 8 naming, SOLID principles, secure by default
|
|
- Use f-strings for formatting, focused small functions
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
**pytest**: Use `setup_method`, `pytest.raises`, `@patch` for mocking
|
|
**Async**: Use anyio for test fixtures, `AsyncMock` for mocking async functions
|
|
**Integration**: In-memory SQLite fixtures with proper cleanup
|
|
**All network calls must be mocked**
|
|
|
|
## Async/Await
|
|
|
|
- `asyncio.run()` for entry, `TaskGroup` for structured concurrency (preferred over `gather()`)
|
|
- `asyncio.timeout()` for timeouts, `Semaphore` for rate limiting
|
|
- Handle cancellation with try/finally, use `ExceptionGroup` for multiple errors
|
|
- Type: `async def foo() -> T` or `Awaitable[T]`
|
|
|
|
## Type System
|
|
|
|
**Modern syntax** (Python 3.10+): `list[str]`, `dict[str, int]`, `str | None`
|
|
**Variance**: dict invariant, Mapping covariant—use `Mapping[K, V]` when needed
|
|
**Advanced**: `Self` for fluent methods, `ParamSpec` for decorator typing, `TypedDict`
|
|
|
|
**Minimize `Any`**:
|
|
- Use `Protocol` for structural typing instead of `Any`
|
|
- Use `TypedDict` for dicts with known structure instead of `dict[str, Any]`
|
|
- Document why `Any` is necessary when it must be used
|
|
|
|
**Common fixes**: Mixed type ops, SQLAlchemy column assignments, API response access
|
|
**Atomic processing**: Fix ALL type errors in file with single edit
|
|
|
|
## Patterns
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Dataclass with slots (memory efficient)
|
|
@dataclass(slots=True)
|
|
class User:
|
|
name: str
|
|
email: str
|
|
tags: list[str] = field(default_factory=list)
|
|
def __post_init__(self):
|
|
if not self.name: raise ValueError("Name required")
|
|
|
|
# Pattern matching (3.10+)
|
|
match response.status:
|
|
case 200: return response.json()
|
|
case 404: raise NotFoundError()
|
|
case _: raise APIError(response.status)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Prefer**: Dependency injection over singletons, `@cache` for memoized instances
|
|
|
|
## Security
|
|
|
|
- Validate/sanitize all inputs, parameterized SQL queries only
|
|
- Rate limiting, CORS/CSRF protection, secure sessions
|
|
- Avoid dynamic code evaluation and unsafe serialization with untrusted data
|
|
|
|
**Cryptography**:
|
|
- Forbidden: MD5, SHA-1, DES/3DES, RC4, custom crypto
|
|
- Required: SHA-256+ for hashing, AES-256-GCM for encryption, Argon2/scrypt for passwords
|
|
- Use `secrets` module for tokens, `cryptography` package for crypto operations
|
|
|
|
## Performance
|
|
|
|
- Profile first (cProfile, timeit), optimize real bottlenecks
|
|
- Sets for O(1) lookup, deque for queues, Counter for counting
|
|
- Generators for large data, `__slots__` for memory
|
|
- `@cache` (unbounded) or `@lru_cache` (bounded) for memoization
|
|
- Eager loading (N+1), connection pooling, async I/O
|
|
|
|
## Pitfalls
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Mutable defaults: use None, then check identity
|
|
def f(items=None):
|
|
if items is None:
|
|
items = [] # Don't use `or []` - empty list is falsy!
|
|
return items
|
|
|
|
# Late binding: capture with default arg
|
|
funcs = [lambda x=i: x for i in range(3)]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Avoid**: God classes, spaghetti code, magic numbers, copy-paste, bare `except:`
|
|
|
|
## Error Handling
|
|
|
|
Custom exception hierarchies, structured JSON logging, circuit breakers, retry with backoff, graceful degradation
|
|
|
|
## Tooling
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ruff check . # lint
|
|
ruff format . # format
|
|
pyright . # typecheck
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Stack**: uv, httpx/aiohttp/anyio, pydantic
|
|
|
|
## Cleanup
|
|
|
|
Remove before completion: `debug-*.py`, `test-*.py`, `__pycache__/`, `*.pyc`, `*_REPORT.md`
