Simple-sumeet.lintel 1 1

I like it, simple, but still witty. Just a golf tip. You can convert number to string like this: `n` More

Eldin

First-Eldin 1 1

it's unnecessary (ok I know it's kinda style question) to import everything from string to namespace. from string import ascii_lowercase and also we can use generator here return min(x in text.lower() for x in ascii_lowercase) More

z00sts

Tribute to @veky-z00sts 1 1

Thank's to Michael Hudson we have from python 1.4 - Extended Slices. You can do: >>> l = range(10) >>> l[::2] [0, 2, 4, 6, 8] More

Hello stranger, list(str(.. is redundant. you can do this: return bin(number).count('1') More

There is a nice trick, how to [unpack](http://hangar.runway7.net/python/packing-unpacking-arguments) arguments in python. More

spoty

deque-spoty 1

I tried to use enumerate, but it didn't work. Because of that, I found this from Raymond, I think it can be helpful for somebody: > Lists are unique in the way they allow mutation during iteration because indexed lookup allows for a meaningful definition of what should be done as the list mutat More

Yes Deceptive, indeed! Nicely used Counter(). More

You can call from string import digits, ascii_lowercase and then, in stead of writing your alpha, you can use: digits + ascii_lowercase More

When you want to use range(len(... think if you can't use enumerate(... instead. More

yama_k_1101

First-yama_k_1101 1

Faster and less memory consuming is to use generator, it didn’t have to store the entire list. return sum(1 for w in words if text.lower().find(w) != -1) aslo is IMHO better to use as condition if w in text.lower() More

randers

First-randers

Hello stranger, if condition: return True else: return False is same as: return condition and one more, str has [endswith](https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#str.endswith) More
