These tips are for beginner to intermediate Pythonistas who have a bit of experience with the language. I focused on general Python tips that I think are good to know.

If the page notebooks won't load on GitHub view them here:

• Python Tips.
• Built-In-Libraries.

Note that these were written in Python 3 (3.6)

These files are .ipynb. It is a notebook document used by Jupyter Notebook, an interactive computational environment designed to help scientists work with the Python language (as well as many others e.g. R, Julia, Ruby, JavaScript).

I suggest downloading Anaconda. Anaconda is a free and open source distribution of the Python and R programming languages that aims to simplify package management and deployment. Jupyter Notebook is included in Anaconda.

I've included an inline python tutor. Just uncomment it and run the cell to use.

Please feel free to contribute, critique and comment.
