A curated collection of 'wat' code snippets demonstrating counterintuitive edge cases in Python, inspired by Gary Bernhardt's famous WAT talk. It includes explanations of why each behavior occurs and a quiz for testing your understanding of Python's quirks.
Use cases
- learn surprising Python edge cases
- prepare for Python interview trick questions
- understand why Python behaves unexpectedly with operators and types
- quiz myself on Python language internals
- find funny examples of Python gotchas to share
- deepen my understanding of Python semantics
When to choose
- you want a fun, example-driven way to learn Python's edge cases
- you are teaching Python and want memorable gotcha examples
- you want to test your Python knowledge with a quiz
When to avoid
- you need a reference manual or comprehensive language documentation
- you want production tooling or libraries
- you are learning Python from scratch and need structured tutorials
