Little confused on best practices for splitting up a larger python file
1 project | /r/learnpython | 21 Dec 2020

I've been working through Architecture Patterns with Python which has a public github with the code broken into different branches by chapter. They go through building a small app and show how to separate things out as the app grows. Great examples of how test driven development can help as you build things too. Highly recommend
