Write Pythonic and Clean Code With namedtuple
Python’s collections
module provides a factory function called namedtuple()
, which is specially designed to make your code more Pythonic when you’re working with tuples. With namedtuple()
, you can create immutable sequence types that allow you to access their values using descriptive field names and the dot notation instead of unclear integer indices.
If you have some experience using Python, then you know that writing Pythonic code is a core skill for Python developers. In this tutorial, you’ll level up that skill using namedtuple
.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:
- Create
namedtuple
classes usingnamedtuple()
- Identify and take advantage of cool features of
namedtuple
- Use
namedtuple
instances to write Pythonic code - Decide whether to use
