python-footguns

A collection of guns that I've incautiously discharged.

  • implicit relative imports
  • mutable default keyword arguments
  • mutable objects in the module namespace
  • mutable objects as values of class attributes
  • oops I've uploaded my home directory to PyPI
  • forgot to add an __init__.py (PEP 420)
  • pathlib.Path is not JSON serializable
  • collections.defaultdict doesn't quack like a duck
  • string interpolation may had side effects
  • global < classes < nonlocal
  • assert is AFK
  • [{}] * 3 not the same as [{} for i in range(3)]
  • wide try excepts
  • ...more TBD
