Python Mastery Roadmap
# 1. Core Python (Master This First)
- Data Types (list, tuple, dict, set)
- String Manipulation (strip(), split(), join(), regex)
- Loops & Conditions (for, while, if-else)
- Functions (def, lambda, *args, **kwargs)
- File Handling (open(), read(), write())
- Exception Handling (try-except-finally)
- OOP (Classes, Inheritance, Polymorphism)
- Decorators & Generators
# 2. Advanced Python (Become an Expert)
- List, Dict, Set Comprehensions (one-liners)
- Functional Programming (map, filter, reduce)
- Multithreading & Multiprocessing (for speed)
- Async Programming (asyncio, await)
- Metaprogramming (Metaclasses, type())
- Memory Management (Garbage Collection, sys.getsizeof())
- Working with APIs (requests, FastAPI)
- Unit Testing (unittest, pytest)
# 3. Python for Data Science & AI
- Pandas (Data handling)
- NumPy (Math & arrays)
- Matplotlib, Seaborn (Data visualization)
- Scikit-learn (Machine Learning)
- TensorFlow / PyTorch (Deep Learning)
- SQLAlchemy (Database integration)
- Streamlit (For AI-powered web apps)
# 4. Web Development (If Needed)
- Flask or FastAPI (Backend API development)
- Jinja2 (Templating for dynamic websites)
- Deployment (Docker, AWS, Heroku)
# 5. Python Power Moves (Ultimate Level)
- Writing C Extensions for Python (For High Speed)
- Understanding CPython vs. PyPy vs. Jython
- Contributing to Python Open Source Projects
- Building Your Own Python Package (setup.py)
- Writing Highly Optimized Code (timeit, cProfile)
# 6. Python for Automation & Scripting
- OS Module (Interacting with OS)
- Subprocess Module (Executing shell commands)
- Schedule (Automating tasks)
# 7. Version Control & Best Practices
- Git (Version control and collaboration)
- Code Readability (Clean, well-documented code)
- Testing (unittest, pytest)
- Performance Optimization (Profiling and improving code)
## How to Learn This?
- Projects -> Build AI apps, automation tools, dashboards.
- Read Source Code -> Explore Pandas, Flask, TensorFlow internals.
- Contribute to GitHub -> Help improve open-source projects.
- Teach Others -> Best way to prove mastery.
### Final Goal: Master Advanced Python + Data Science/AI + Web Basics to become a Python
Expert.
