Hey #Python folks (and I'm looking especially at you @treyhunner) what's the most #pythonic way to “write to file if it exists, else create it and then write to it”?

`open(filename, ‘x’)` only works once, AIUI. I want a code snippet (or library!) that will work every time

While working with #Python, I miss being able to use an assignment statement as an expression, particularly when constructing a while loop.

Example:
while ((myDate = NextFOM (myDate)) <= EndDate):
print ("First of Month", myDate)

From what I've read, it looks like a #Pythonic way to rewrite the above code looks like this:

while True:
myDate = NextFOM (myDate)
if myDate > EndDate:
break
print ("First of Month", myDate)

This will get even better in 1 or 2 weeks

It is just not very #pythonic (readable) so I was just wondering if it was just my background or others find it hard to read too :)

Today we have a lot of new people helping the socketify GitHub project, thank you for all your support!

Is inspiring to see this that means a lot

So #Python does not support the basic programming language concept of a constant value. Claiming it's not #Pythonic . Hmm...

OK, fellow #Python devs. I’ve donned my asbestos suit and am ready to open the door to the inferno. 😆 I’m writing a piece for my students (elementary Python class) on writing “Pythonic" code, which might expand into a blog entry at some point. So, with that in mind...

What are some common things that tell you a piece of code is Pythonic?

Could be stylistic, could be functional, anything's good. I'm just looking for tell-tale signs of #Pythonic code vs. code written with an “accent" from another language. (A couple I’ve already scribbled down: list comprehensions, lambda over map/filter…)

Credibility seems to be very important to the author. Unashamedly so, as he is a little smug at certain points.

"If you care about your credibility in the software world and want to proudly call yourself a Python developer, make sure you know and use some of these techniques..."

Dude, I'm just happy when my code actually works.

I'm very happy and also surprised at the same time.
See you at the next #pythonic conference. 🐍
