There’s something oddly satisfying about writing a quick Python script that just works. You run it, see the output, maybe toss in a few print statements, and boom—done. But the trouble starts when that “quick script” grows into a project with multiple files, dependencies, and people contributing to it. Suddenly, that neat little script feels... Continue Reading →
Dynamically Typed Languages: Flexibility at Your Fingertips
If you’ve ever coded in Python, JavaScript, or Ruby, you’ve already experienced the magic — variables that don’t need a type declaration. That’s the essence of dynamically typed languages. But what does it really mean, and why do developers love (and sometimes fear) it? 1. The Core Idea In a dynamically typed language, the type... Continue Reading →
Lazy Evaluation vs Eager Evaluation: Compute Now or Compute When Needed
Have you ever noticed that some Python operations don’t execute immediately? Or why creating huge lists can crash your program? That’s where lazy evaluation vs eager evaluation comes into play — two contrasting approaches for handling computation. Understanding them is critical if you work with Python, Spark, or any data-intensive pipeline. 1. Eager Evaluation: Compute... Continue Reading →
Wrappers and Decorators in Python: Add Power Without Touching the Core
Python is a language that lets you be elegant, expressive, and occasionally a little magical. One of the most powerful features that embodies this magic? Decorators. But before we dive into decorators, let’s start with the concept they rely on: wrappers. At its heart, a wrapper is just a function (or class) that wraps another... Continue Reading →
*args vs **kwargs in Python – What’s the Difference and When to Use Them?
Python is a language that values simplicity and flexibility, and nowhere is that more evident than in how it handles function arguments. If you've ever come across *args and **kwargs and wondered, "What’s going on here?" — you're in the right place. Let’s break it down with plain English, some real examples, and use cases...

Understanding **kwargs in Python: A Beginner’s Guide
In Python, the flexibility of functions is one of the things that makes it a favorite language for developers. You can pass arguments in multiple ways, which allows you to create more dynamic and versatile functions. One such way is through kwargs. But what exactly is kwargs, and why is it so useful? Let's dive... Continue Reading →
Tuples as Dictionary Keys in Python | BrontoWise
If you've been playing around with Python long enough, you've probably encountered a frustrating error when trying to use a list as a dictionary key. But then, you try a tuple—and voilà, it works! 🎉 Ever wondered why? Let’s break it down! Why Can’t Lists Be Dictionary Keys? 🤔 Python dictionaries use hashing to store... Continue Reading →
Lists vs Tuples in Python | BrontoWise
If you've spent any time dabbling in Python, you've surely come across lists and tuples. They seem kinda similar, right? I mean, both store multiple values, both use indexing, and both let you slice and dice data. So, why do we have two different things for (almost) the same job? 🤔 Well, let's settle this... Continue Reading →
Slicing and Dicing in Python | BrontoWise
Ever wanted to grab just a piece of your data instead of the whole thing? Well, in Python, slicing and dicing isn’t just for chefs—it’s a powerful way to manipulate lists, tuples, strings, and more! Let’s break it down with some easy-to-digest examples. 🍔🍲 What is Slicing? Slicing is a way to extract a portion... Continue Reading →
