- supplement reading the Effective Python book with runnable examples

## When to choose
- you are reading or have read Effective Python and want runnable code samples
- you want concise examples of Pythonic thinking and idioms
- you are teaching or learning Python 3 best practices

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready library or tool
- you want a comprehensive Python tutorial rather than book-specific samples
- you need actively maintained or licensed code for reuse in projects

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools
- domain: programming-languages, tutorials, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: python-3, effective-python, code-samples, best-practices, book-companion, pythonic-thinking
