Pylint - Python source code analyser

Pylint is a Python source code analyser which looks for programming errors, helps to enforce a coding standard, and other such. This quality checker for Python programming includes several features such as coding standard where it checks for the length of line codes, error detection, refactoring by detecting the duplicated code, Pylint is shipped with Pyreverse which creates UML diagrams for python code.

Walrus Operator in Python 3.8

One of the biggest highlights of Python 3.8.0 is a new feature for assignment expressions known as the Walrus Operator.

"There is new syntax := that assigns values to variables as part of a larger expression," the Python 3.8.0 release notes state.

"It is affectionately known as 'the walrus operator' due to its resemblance to the eyes and tusks of a walrus."

In this example, the assignment expression helps avoid calling len() twice:

if (n := len(a)) > 10:

    print(f"List is too long ({n} elements, expected <= 10)")

Microsoft: We want you to learn Python programming language for free

Microsoft has launched a new 44-part series called Python for Beginners on YouTube, consisting of three- to four-minute lessons from two self-described geeks at Microsoft who love programming and teaching in YouTube or  Channel9

The Python for Beginners series is presented by Christopher Harrison, a senior program manager at Microsoft, and Susan Ibach, a business development manager from Microsoft's AI Gaming unit. 

Microsoft has published a page on GitHub containing additional resources, including slides and code samples to help students become better at Python. 

The Developers have a option to interface with machine-learning frameworks like Google-developed TensorFlow, and the Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK).
