Useful tools for Python development
Time to share something with the peers :) Have been working with python on my side projects and found a number of tools being quite useful during the development process. Some of them are quite hack’y, but this saves tones of time.
In the end, some of them are used on the daily basis.
Let's start from irregular ones…
Website laten maken Rotterdam Utrecht Amsterdam Den Haag
1. Live Python Tutor / Online Code Editor
This is the live programming mode (video intro), which continually runs and visualizes your code as you type. It’s highly experimental
Quite handy if you need to test couple lines of very simple code and see/visualize the output. Works well for regexps, debugging simple if conditions and testing types of data being returned by an expression
2. Regular Expression 101 / Online Regexp tool
This tool is perfectly suiting purpose of designing and debugging regexp expression. Works like a charm!
Quite a cool visualization of regexp functioning + there is an explanation of how each element gets interpreted
3. JSON Viewer / Online JSON Viewer
Note : don’t use these for sensitive Prod data :) Some of this functionality can be found within IDE.
Two services I might recommend :
https://jsoneditoronline.org/
4. Postman / Testing Http requests & API
This is not Python-specific, but very handy when you need to test your backend / API / server response / HTTP requests
Testing Http methods became easier :
HTTP GET
HTTP POST
HTTP PUT
HTTP DELETE
HTTP PATCH
Very simple and allows any kind of testing, including automated. Easy to use, fast, reliable and probably there doesn’t exist any other tool like this
Hopefully, you will find something new & useful for yourself. Some of these tools don’t deserve the term or Production ready and neither recommended as a permanent /reliable solution, but for most of self-made developers those will find its place.
5. JSON Formatter ( Suggested in comments )
https://jsonformatter.org for all JSON related tasks, like JSON Validator, convert JSON to XML , JSON Formatter.
