The Python Corner monthly newsletter, September 2020
Hi everyone, this September issue will focus on hash tables and their primary Python implementation: dictionaries.
I collected three different articles here specific on this topic, the first one is an article I wrote and that probably has been read by many of you directly on my website and the other twos are great contributions to the same topic I found really useful and super enjoyable.
Finally, I’m linking also a great Raymond Hettinger’s video from PyCon 2017. He’s the man behind the latest implementation of Python’s dictionary and definitely the one who made the speeches on which are based our articles, so watch this video and I’m sure you will thank me. :)
Enjoy!
