Welcome to Pylenin Weekly #17, a newsletter dedicated to improving the lives of my fellow peers through knowledge sharing in the field of programming and data.

I would say that I have made up for my slack the last few weeks!

I would like to share some really interesting articles that I have written on Python and Data Engineering topics.

Python articles

Python Generators

A generator is a special type of function which returns an iterator object with a sequence of values. In a generator function, a yield statement is used rather than a return statement.

Learn in-depth about Python generators!

How efficient are Python generators?

I had posted my article on Python generators on Reddit. That post got a humongous response from the community members.

However, some of the members also asked a very obvious question!

What would be a real life example of generator application? And, are they really useful?

This encouraged me to write an article on demonstrating the true powers of Python generators by running a performance comparison with the return statement.

And the results are just fab!

Learn about the entire experiment in this article!

Data Engineering articles

I recently started blogging about Data Engineering with Python on my new blog - 100 days of data. Go ahead and give it some love!

Python File I/O

This article is an introduction to performing various file operations in Python. It covers -

1. How to open files in read-only mode?
2. How to write to files?
3. How to append to a file?
4. How to close a file?
5. How to read and write to a file at the same time?
