SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Python developers often default to copying patterns instead of understanding context. This skill provides decision-making principles to guide framework selection, async vs sync choices, type hints strategy, and project structure decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decision Tree guidance for framework selection (FastAPI, Django, Flask)
  • Async vs Sync decision guidance and Type hints strategy
  • Project structure principles for scalable apps

Quick Start

Assess your project context and apply the Python patterns guidance to select an appropriate framework, async model, typing strategy, and project structure.

Frequently Asked Questions about python-patterns

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose between FastAPI, Django, and Flask for my Python backend?

Choosing between FastAPI, Django, and Flask requires evaluating your project context, such as async needs and typing strictness. This skill provides decision tree guidance to direct your framework selection based on specific architectural requirements.

When should I use async vs sync code in Python data processing pipelines?

You should use async code in Python data processing pipelines when handling I/O-bound workloads, while sync code suits CPU-bound tasks. This skill offers decision-making principles to guide your async vs sync choices based on your specific processing context.

What is the best way to structure a scalable Python API backend project?

The best way to structure a scalable Python API backend is to apply principled project organization patterns. This skill outlines project structure principles that enforce clear typing practices and scalable organization across various Python ecosystems.

How do I implement a robust type hints strategy for Python scripts?

Implementing a robust type hints strategy for Python scripts involves applying clear typing practices tailored to your project scale. This skill guides type hints strategy to ensure robust type systems for small scripts and complex backends alike.

Does copying standard Python patterns always work for framework selection?

Copying standard Python patterns does not always work because it ignores specific project context. This skill replaces copied patterns with decision-making principles to ensure context-aware framework choices and scalable project organization.
