Basic Cheat Sheet for Python (PDF, Markdown and Jupyter Notebook)

Python Cheatsheet

This Python Cheatsheet is based on the book Automate the Boring Stuff with Python and many other sources.

Anyone can forget how to make character classes for a regex, slice a list or do a for loop. This Python cheatsheet tries to provide basic reference for beginner and advanced developers, lower the entry barrier for newcomers and help veterans refresh the old tricks.
