- What does colon equal (:=) in Python mean? - Stack Overflow
In Python this is simply = To translate this pseudocode into Python you would need to know the data structures being referenced, and a bit more of the algorithm implementation Some notes about psuedocode::= is the assignment operator or = in Python = is the equality operator or == in Python ; There are certain styles, and your mileage may vary:
- Why is -m needed for python -m pip install . . . ?
python -m pip tells python to run with the pip module as the main module python pip isn't understood, because pip isn't a command line argument that python understands (i e , pip is a module) If the python scripts directory ( c:\python27\scripts for python 2 7 on windows) is on your path, then you can just run pip (without python before it
- What is Pythons equivalent of (logical-and) in an if-statement?
There is no bitwise negation in Python (just the bitwise inverse operator ~ - but that is not equivalent to not) See also 6 6 Unary arithmetic and bitwise binary operations and 6 7 Binary arithmetic operations The logical operators (like in many other languages) have the advantage that these are short-circuited
- python - What is the purpose of the -m switch? - Stack Overflow
You must run python my_script py from the directory where the file is located Alternatively - python path to my_script py However, you can run python -m my_script (ie refer to the script by module name by omitting the py) from anywhere, as long as Python can find it!

- math - ` ` vs ` ` for division in Python - Stack Overflow
In Python 2 2 or later in the 2 x line, there is no difference for integers unless you perform a from __future__ import division, which causes Python 2 x to adopt the 3 x behavior Regardless of the future import, 5 0 2 will return 2 0 since that's the floor division result of the operation
- python - What exactly does += do? - Stack Overflow
In Python, += is sugar coating for the __iadd__ special method, or __add__ or __radd__ if __iadd__ isn't present The __iadd__ method of a class can do anything it wants The list object implements it and uses it to iterate over an iterable object appending each element to itself in the same way that the list's extend method does
- slice - How slicing in Python works - Stack Overflow
In Python 2 7 Slicing in Python [a:b:c] len = length of string, tuple or list c -- default is +1 The sign of c indicates forward or backward, absolute value of c indicates steps Default is forward with step size 1 Positive means forward, negative means backward a -- When c is positive or blank, default is 0 When c is negative, default is -1
