Language constructs we should not use.
Yesterday we were talking about the outcome of this thread with Ahmed in IRC, and we all agreed on the fact that importing * from anywhere isn’t a good idea for several reasons. Similar caution apply when it comes to code python scripts.
This talking took my memory to a Moshe Zadka’s article: Idioms and Anti-Idioms in Python. It’s essentially a list of language construct based tips on how to use Python or better said, how not to use it. Once Ahmed wrote a similar list towards optimization too. If we find it appropiate it may accompany the spirit of this post, for the joy and enthrallment of the big audiences.
