从我开始学习python的时候，我就开始自己总结一个python小技巧的集合。后来当我什么时候在Stack Overflow

或者在某个开源软件里看到一段很酷代码的时候，我就很惊讶：原来还能这么做！，当时我会努力的自己尝试一下这段代码，直到我懂了它的整体思路以后，我就把这段代码加到我的集合里。这篇博客其实就是这个集合整理后一部分的公开亮相。如果你已经是个python大牛，那么基本上你应该知道这里面的大多数用法了，但我想你应该也能发现一些你不知道的新技巧。而如果你之前是一个c,c++,java的程序员，同时在学习python，或者干脆就是一个刚刚学习编程的新手，那么你应该会看到很多特别有用能让你感到惊奇的实用技巧，就像我当初一样。

每一个技巧和语言用法都会在一个个实例中展示给大家，也不需要有其他的说明。我已经尽力把每个例子弄的通俗易懂，但是因为读者对python的熟悉程度不同，仍然可能难免有一些晦涩的地方。所以如果这些例子本身无法让你读懂，至少这个例子的标题在你后面去google搜索的时候会帮到你。

整个集合大概是按照难易程度排序，简单常见的在前面，比较少见的在最后。
