How to check for the presence of subclasses in Python? 🐍🧐

Here's how you can do it:

import inspect

def has_subclasses(cls):
    return any(issubclass(sub, cls) for sub in inspect.getmembers(sys.modules[cls.__module__], inspect.isclass))

This function uses the inspect module to find all subclasses of the given class. 🛠️

📂 Reminder about Python map()!

map() — a built-in function that applies the specified function to each element of an iterable object (list, tuple, set, etc.).

The picture shows the basic syntax, an example of use with lambda, and a typical case — data transformation without a manual for loop.

Save it to quickly remember the syntax!

Why is enumerate() used in Python? 🤔🐍

It allows you to simultaneously obtain the value of an element and its index when iterating through a list. 📊✨

This is more convenient and more readable than manually working with a counter. ✅🚀

for i, item in enumerate(items):
    print(i, item)

# Cheat sheet on high-order functions in Python:

🐍 map() - applies a function to every element of an iterable and returns an iterator with the results
🔍 filter() - filters elements based on a condition and leaves only those for which the function returns True
🔄 reduce() - successively combines all elements of an iterable into a single value
⚡ lambda functions - anonymous functions for short expressions and working with map/filter/reduce
📦 iterable objects - lists, tuples, and other collections for processing
📚 functools - a Python module that contains reduce()
🧠 functional programming - an approach to programming through functions and data processing without changing the state

```python
# Example usage
from functools import reduce

# map
squared = map(lambda x: x**2, [1, 2, 3, 4])
print(list(squared))

# filter
evens = filter(lambda x: x % 2 == 0, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
print(list(evens))

# reduce
total = reduce(lambda x, y: x + y, [1, 2, 3, 4])
pr

int(total)```

Why in Python it is better to check None using is 🐍

In Python, you should not write obj == None, even if sometimes it works the same ⚠️

The reason is that == calls the comparison method eq, which can be overridden in the class — and then the behavior becomes unpredictable 🎲

For example:

class Weird:
    def eq(self, other):
        return True  # always says "equal"

obj = Weird()

print(obj == None)  # True
print(obj is None)  # False

Here obj == None gives a false result due to custom logic 🤔

Instead:

obj is None

is checks the identity of the object and cannot be overridden. Since None is a singleton, such a check is always correct and predictable ✅

Conclusion: to check for None always use is None — it is the right and safe approach 🛡️

Deep copying of objects with the copy module 🐍📦

import copy

# Original list with nested structure
original = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]

# 1. Shallow copy
shallow = copy.copy(original)
shallow[0][0] = 'X'
# Oh no! Both lists have changed, because the nested list wasn't copied, but passed by reference
print(f"Original after shallow: {original}") # [['X', 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]

# Restore the data
original = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]

# 2. Deep copy
deep = copy.deepcopy(original)
deep[0][0] = 'X'
# Everything is fine! Only deep has changed, the original remains untouched
print(f"Original after deep:    {original}") # [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]

The link trap in Python 🔗🕳️

When you assign a list to another variable (A = B) or make a regular slice (A = B[:]), Python doesn't physically copy the data. It simply creates a new reference to the same objects in memory. If the list contains other mutable objects (lists, dictionaries, custom classes), standard copying methods will only create a shallow copy. The copy module allows you to control this process.

— Breaking the links: The deepcopy function recursively traverses the entire data structure and creates honest, independent duplicates for each nested element. This ensures that changes in the copy will not harm the original data. 🔓🔒
— Safe state: The use of deep copying is critical when implementing design patterns (for example, Snapshot/Memento), creating game state backups, or when you pass complex configurations to functions that may modify them accidentally. 🛡️💾
— A sensible balance: It's worth remembering that deepcopy works slower and consumes more memory than shallow copying, as it spends resources on creating new objects and checking for cyclic references. Use it specifically when there are nested mutable containers within the structure. ⚖️🧠

Regular for-loops are versatile but not always optimal: they add extra interpreter overhead, which is especially noticeable on large data 🐍

In such cases, it's better to use standard Python tools, for example itertools ⚙️

For example, to get all unique pairs from a list, nested loops are not needed — just combinations():

from itertools import combinations

def get_unique_pairs(items):
    return list(combinations(items, 2))

print(get_unique_pairs(['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']))

# Output:
# [('A', 'B'), ('A', 'C'), ('A', 'D'), ('B', 'C'), ('B', 'D'), ('C', 'D')]

Conclusion: instead of manual loops, it's better to use ready-made tools from the standard library — it's cleaner and more efficient 🚀

🐍 Python Roadmap 2026: Finally, a comprehensive and up-to-date map for learning Python, not just a list of "figure it out yourself" links

A large Russian-language Python roadmap for 2026 has been posted on GitHub - from the first scripts to the Middle+/Senior level.

The route is compiled for modern Python:

- Python 3.13+
- free-threaded mode without GIL
- JIT
- uv instead of the hassle with pip/venv/poetry
- ruff, pyright, pytest, hypothesis
- async-first approach
- typing
- CPython inside
- web, databases, ML/AI, DevOps, and architecture

The roadmap has a logical sequence: first the environment and foundation, then idioms, OOP, types, the standard library, asynchrony, testing, CPython internals, web, databases, the AI direction, production, and architecture.

A particular plus is the practical format. At each stage, there are tasks, checklists, code examples, and free resources. This is not a motivational document, but a roadmap that you can actually follow for several months and see progress.

For beginners - a clear path without chaos.
For juniors - a way to fill in the gaps.
For those who already write in Python - a good checklist to understand where you're still struggling.

Python in 2026 is about tooling, types, async, infrastructure, AI, and production discipline. And this roadmap is exactly about such a Python.
