What are some of the coding gotchas to look out for when coding in Python?

Question

Every language has those 'gotchas' (unexpected behavior or debugging challenges). If I'm planning on doing extensive coding in Python what are some of the gotchas to be aware of?

Answer 1

I mainly get indentation error🤣

Answer 2

Yaa it's easy to find still I can't figure out why I did that mistake😁@HonFu

Answer 3

Thanks for your answer!

Answer 4

Sarvesh ✓, yeah, these come up a lot... ;-)

Occasionally you indented wrong and the program runs anyway (acting unexpectedly), then you might have to look for a while ...

Most times, though, you'll get an error message about what you did wrong and where, and it should be relatively easy to find.

Answer 5

Sarvesh ✓, yeah, but...

Did you ever have a mistake in your Python code where you didn't get an error message, everything looked okay, but then your program acted in a way you didn't want it to?

And then you tried to search for it but you simply couldn't find it?

#debugging CHALLENGE!

Answer 6

Yaa some time...😶

The problems that can occur if you fail to treat mutable and immutable types properly.
