Toolz VS awesome-functional-python

My favourite lib would probably be toolz, it's just so elegant and fun to use. But it's more functional approach is not always the best fit for the time, so in practice I mostly use it in research, prototyping, console and notebooks.

I am not new to Python but only used it to write scripts. Should I start a Python book and then a PySpark book or go directly to PySpark? When reading the legacy code, I found there are usages like GitHub - pytoolz/toolz: A functional standard library for Python. I never heard of.

toolz is wildly useful https://github.com/pytoolz/toolz

Maybe the toolz[0] family would cover your use cases? There is also a Cython implementation if you need better performance.

You'll probably enjoy toolz.

hi everyone .. sharing this link to "awesome functional python" :: https://github.com/sfermigier/awesome-functional-python .. i wish i would have found it a few months ago when starting my functional python journey, especially the libraries :)

Really strange new lands can be found in functional programming languages like Haskell, Elm, OCaml, Elixir, and the like. Functional programming in Python isn't something I have adopted fully, but I do find it a helpful paradigm. Interesting tools available for it.

https://github.com/mpkocher/Functional-Programming-Technique...

I covered a few core concepts (e.g., functions as first-class citizens, closures, partial application, etc...) and added a few real world examples of using a functional centric design. The text/format has some rough edges, but overall I think the text is useful for internalizing how to leverage a functional-ish approach.

Other resources.

I see there is a short section about Python (6 resources).

I have been maintaining for the last 5 years a slightly richer collection at: https://github.com/sfermigier/awesome-functional-python/

1) It's not released on PyPI (there is a different project with the same name).

2) How different / better is it that the similar projects listed on: https://github.com/sfermigier/awesome-functional-python ? (Also: feel free to make a pull request if you want your project listed).

Cool, I thought it was dead (like the fictional character called, coincidently, "Snake"). I see that active development has restarted 6 months ago, seemingly. Kudos to everyone involved, specially @Kodiologist who seems the main contributor over the recent period.

(Shameless plug: more functional languages that look like Python, or compile to one of the Python VMs: https://github.com/sfermigier/awesome-functional-python#lang... ).
