Should I Use Slots Python?

Python is a high-level, interpreted, general-purpose programming language, created on December 3, 1989, by Guido van Rossum, with a design philosophy entitled, “There’s only one way to do it, and that’s why it works.”

In the Python language, that means explicit is better than implicit. It also gives rise to the infamous Python telegraph pole analogy attributed to creator Guido van Rossum, which goes like this:

There is beauty in π, elegance in an all-numeric telephone keypad . . I am attracted to the simpleness of a perfect poker face, and the serenity of perfect punctuation mark placement.

Just as art to be appreciated and not merely tolerated, comments to be enjoyed and not just perused. I find myself constantly inspired by the language to new levels of aesthetic appreciation.

I enjoy reading Python telegraph poles. They are like haiku; each one tells a little story.

But I wouldn’t want to use one in my day-to-day work — I prefer something more like a slot machine.

Slots are fun. They’re also fast, efficient, and easy to use.

And they’re great for when you need randomness in your life (or your program). So if you’re looking for a little bit of Python flavor in your next project, consider using slots.
