The del statement is a way to remove an item from a list given its index instead of its value: the del statement.
ex. a = [-1, 1, 66.25, 333, 333, 1234.5]
del a[0]
a
[1, 66.25, 333, 333, 1234.5] |

The while loop continues until the expression becomes false. The expression has to be a logical expression and must return either a true or a false value.
ex. while (x < 10): |

Used in a 'with' statement to define the alias to assign each result of with x to.
ex. with open("x.log") as x |

The global statement is a declaration which holds for the entire current code block. It means that the listed identifiers are to be interpreted as globals.
ex. globes = 0
def glob_1():
global globes
globes = 1
def glob_2():
print globes
glob_1()
glob_2() |

Definition
The with statement is used to wrap the execution of a block with functionality provided by a separate guard object (see context-managers). This allows common try-except-finally usage patterns to be encapsulated for convenient reuse.
ex. with open("bzr.log") as x:
data = x.read()
print data |

The assert statement verifies that the expression defined resolves to true. If it does not it will raise an AssertionError with an optional expression2.
ex. assert (x==1 or x==2) |

When all conditional execution statements in an If, Elif block return false, the else will catch and execute.
ex. if x==1: do1
elif x==2: do2
else: do3 |

A conditional execution statement which executes some code if a statement is True.
ex. if you == stinkypant: print "whew!" |

A null operation. When this is executed nothing happens.
ex. if x<0: derp()
else pass |

Return a generator object(like a list or tuple) instead of a static object.
ex. def direct(path):
yield os.path.walk(path) |

Will exit out of the 'nearest' loop.
ex. while x<10:
if x<0:
break
print x
x = x+1 |

When a try statement fails the except catches the failure and returns.
ex. while True:
try:
num = raw_input(int())
break
except:
print "Thats not an int." |

Definition
The import statement initializes an external module so its functions can be used in the current environment.
ex. import os
print os.path("c:") |

Definition
The print statement will export the argument to STDOUT.
ex. print "sup" |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
A object that contains functions and can be instantiated.
ex. class Man:
def height(self):
print "TALL DUDE" |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Allows for the dynamic execution of Python code.
ex. test = print "Sup"
exec(test) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
When used with an if, allows the code to loop through all members of a generator object.
ex. x = 1
if x in [1,2,3,4,5]: print "Sup" |
|

Term

Definition
Used to call an exception that can be customized per situation.
ex. raise Exception, "PC LOAD LETTER" |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
When encountered, causes the application to skip the rest of the current loop.
ex. k = [1,2,3,4,5]
for x in k:
if x>3:
print "TOO BEEG"
continue
print x |

Definition
The finally statement is the cleanup function in a 'try' statement. While all of the try...except...else are executed, if an exception is raised it is parsed and printed in the finally statement. This also causes any application that is preemptively interrupted to still execute the finally statement before closing out of the loop.
ex. try:
d = file("herp.txt")
while True:
line = d.readline()
if len(line) == 0:
break
time.sleep(2)
print line,
finally:
d.close()
print "Cleaning up your mess." |

Term

Definition
Compares the object identity of two objects. Two objects referencing the same memory location will return True, but objects that are 'equal' will not.
ex. 1 == 1
1 is 1
[] == []
[] is [] |
|

Term
|
Definition
Outputs the value returned by a function. This cannot be a generator object as return will only return that it is a generator function.
ex. def poop
return 2 * 2 |

Term
|
Definition
Define a function.
ex. def testfunc(poops) |

Definition
Iterate through a generator object. The for specifically defines a variable to store each individual iteration as the generator counts through.
ex. i = ["Hello","world!"]
for x in i:
print x |

Term
|
Definition
Creates an anonymous function that is not bound to a specific namespace.
ex. for i in (1,2,3,4,5):
a = lambda x: x * x
print a(i) |
