Python Roadmap

Python is wide. This roadmap covers the parts you actually need: language fundamentals, idiomatic patterns, working with data, building APIs with FastAPI, and writing code that can survive production.

Foundations

Syntax, types, and the Pythonic way of doing things.

Python basics

Beginner

Types, control flow, functions, and modules. The foundation everything else builds on.

✍️Post coming soon — read other posts in the meantime.

Built-in data structures

Beginner

Lists, tuples, dicts, sets — and when each is the right tool, not just the first one that comes to mind.

Idiomatic Python

Writing Python that reads like Python.

Comprehensions & generators

Intermediate

List/dict/set comprehensions, generator expressions, and lazy evaluation — when memory matters.

✍️Post coming soon — read other posts in the meantime.

Decorators & context managers

Intermediate

Writing and using decorators, the descriptor protocol, and context managers with __enter__/__exit__.

DSA in Python

Algorithm patterns, complexity, and LeetCode — in Python.

Binary search

Intermediate

The lo <= hi vs lo < hi debate, bisect module, and the off-by-one bugs that will cost you interview time.
