Sockets and the socket API are used to send messages across a network. They provide a form of inter-process communication (IPC). The network can be a logical, local network to the computer, or one that’s physically connected to an external network with its own connections to other networks. The obvious example is the Internet, which you connect to via your ISP. In this video course, you’ll create: A simple socket server and client An improved version that handles multiple connections […]

Watch Now This tutorial has a related video course created by the Real Python team. Watch it together with the written tutorial to deepen your understanding: Intro to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Python Object-oriented programming (OOP) in Python lets you structure your code by grouping related properties and behaviors into individual objects. You create classes as blueprints and instantiate them to form objects. With OOP, you can model real-world entities and their interactions, and create complex systems with reusable components. […]

Python set comprehensions provide a concise way to create and manipulate sets in your code. They generate sets with a clean syntax, making your code more readable and Pythonic. With set comprehensions, you can create, transform, and filter sets, which are great skills to add to your Python programming toolkit. In this tutorial, you’ll learn the syntax and use cases of set comprehensions, ensuring you can decide when and how to use them in your code. Understanding set comprehensions will […]

The Python community has kept up its momentum this month, delivering a host of exciting updates. From the promising improvements to template strings in PEP 750 to the release of Python 3.14.0a2, innovation is front and center. Developers are exploring new tools like partial validation in Pydantic 2.10, while popular projects adapt to the end of life of Python 3.8. December also welcomes the return of the beloved Advent of Code, challenging programmers and problem solvers with daily puzzles. And […]

After working with Python for a while, you’ll eventually come across two seemingly similar terms: expression and statement. When you browse the official documentation or dig through a Python-related thread on an online forum, you may get the impression that people use these terms interchangeably. That’s often true, but confusingly enough, there are cases when the expression vs statement distinction becomes important. So, what’s the difference between expressions and statements in Python? Take the Quiz: Test your knowledge with our […]

Dealing with errors and exceptional situations is a common requirement in programming. You can either prevent errors before they happen or handle errors after they’ve happened. In general, you’ll have two coding styles matching these strategies: look before you leap (LBYL), and easier to ask forgiveness than permission (EAFP), respectively. In this video course, you’ll dive into the questions and considerations surrounding LBYL vs EAFP in Python. By learning about Python’s LBYL and EAFP coding styles, you’ll be able to […]
