Python can substitute an empty context manager without conditions inside!

It often happens that a resource needs to be opened via with, and sometimes the object is already ready and there's no need to open anything.

This usually leads to code duplication or conditions around with:

if need_open:
    f = open(...)
else:
    f = existing_file

`nullcontext(obj) behaves like an empty context manager and allows you to maintain a single execution flow.

This is especially useful for APIs, tests, optional resources, dependency injection, and functions that can accept both a path and a ready-made object.


with ctx as resource:
    process(resource)

But note that nullcontext() does not close the passed object — it simply passes it on further.

🔥 nullcontext() helps to unify scenarios with optional context managers and significantly simplifies the architecture of IO code.

Do you know that Python can shift sequences without slicing and creating new lists?

When you need to cyclically shift data, many use slicing:

data = data[-1:] + data[:-1]

But deque.rotate() does this at the level of the data structure and usually works more efficiently for cyclical operations.

q.rotate(1)

A negative value rotates the queue in the other direction.

q.rotate(-2)

This is useful for ring buffers, task schedulers, cyclical queues, and round-robin algorithms.

workers.rotate(-1)

🔥 deque.rotate() allows you to implement cyclical data structures without manual index logic and without creating new lists.

How to create your own context manager in Python for opening and closing a connection to the SQLite database

The enter() method is used when opening a connection, and the exit() method is used when closing it:

import sqlite3

class DatabaseConnection:
    def __init__(self, db_name):
        self.db_name = db_name
        self.connection = None

    def __enter__(self):
        self.connection = sqlite3.connect(self.db_name)
        return self.connection

    def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
        if self.connection:
            self.connection.close()

# Usage
with DatabaseConnection("example.db") as conn:
    cursor = conn.cursor()
    cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM users")

Safe rounding of numbers with math.fsum

import math

# Initial list with fractions
values = [0.1] * 10

# 1. Regular summation via sum()
print(f"Standard sum(): {sum(values)}") # 0.9999999999999999

# 2. Exact summation via math.fsum()
print(f"Exact math.fsum(): {math.fsum(values)}") # 1.0

Eliminating errors when calculating arrays

We've already discussed why float in Python loses accuracy and how Decimal deals with this. But what if you need to add a million ordinary real numbers from a database or matrix, and it's not possible to convert everything to heavy Decimal objects due to a performance hit? The math.fsum() function comes to the rescue.

— Eliminating accumulated error: When sequentially adding elements via the standard sum(), the microscopic errors of float are rounded at each step and "accumulate" in the loop. The math.fsum() function tracks intermediate accuracy losses and compensates for them during the calculations.

— High performance: Since the math module is written in C, this function works several times faster than manually iterating through the array or using alternative data types. You get the speed of basic float calculations with near-perfect accuracy.

— Stability in Data Science: This tool is indispensable when working with weights in neural networks, calculating averages of large samples, or processing financial transactions, where speed is important but it's critical not to lose valuable cents and fractions during mass operations.
