gto76/python-cheatsheet

This repository is a comprehensive Python cheatsheet, a single, very long reference document that covers the Python language from basic data structures all the way to advanced topics like threading, async programming, and multimedia processing. Its goal is to serve as a quick-lookup reference for Python syntax, standard library features, and common patterns, all in one place rather than spread across multiple documentation pages. The cheatsheet is structured as a plain Markdown file (which also serves as the repository's README) organized into eight major sections: collections like lists, dictionaries, sets, and generators; data types including strings, regular expressions, and date/time; syntax rules covering classes, decorators, and exceptions; system operations like file I/O and command-line arguments; data formats including JSON, CSV, SQLite, and binary data; miscellaneous topics like logging and concurrency; operating-system-facing libraries for plotting, web scraping, and building console apps; and multimedia sections covering NumPy, image processing, audio, Pygame, Pandas, and Plotly. Each entry shows the syntax with brief inline comments. You would use this cheatsheet when you know roughly what you want to do in Python but need to look up the exact syntax or available methods for a built-in type or module, for example, how to use itertools, what methods a dictionary has, or how to format a date string. It is aimed at people who already know Python basics and want a fast reference rather than a beginner tutorial. The entire resource is a single Python-annotated Markdown file with no dependencies or runtime.
