The Best Python Blogs

May 20, 2024 • matt

Python is one of the most popular programming languages in use today. It’s
become a favorite for both experienced developers and those just starting out,
thanks to its winning combination of power and user-friendliness. Since Python is
a core technology in booming fields like data science, machine learning, and AI,
its usage will likely continue to rise.

for your attention.

That is why I went on a journey to find the best Python blogs on the internet. I
looked for blogs that showcased deep technical knowledge, were relatively easy
to comprehend, publish content consistently, and have stood the test of time.

During this process, I used the same approach for analyzing and comparing
common qualities (or deficiencies) in each of the Python programming blogs.

I looked at the depth of each blog’s technical content and the usefulness of that
content. I read a few posts from start to finish to get a sense of the writing quality
and comprehensibility. Finally, I looked at how consistently the python bloggers
publish new content and did some digging to learn how long each site has been
around.

Before we dive into each one individually, here are the 23 best python blogs at a
glance:

Mouse vs. Python is a personal blog that shares content on a variety of topics in
both written and video formats. A recurring post type seems to be one-on-one
interviews with developers, which may be less useful to current programmers
than tutorials and technical breakdowns. That’s not to say the technical depth is
not above average, as both formats provide moderate expertise and value. The
blog has been around since 2008 and has established itself as a reliable publisher
of content, as readers can typically expect 5-15 new posts every month. Mouse vs.

Finxter is an educational Python blog platform that offers everything from newbie
guides to intermediate puzzles to in-depth technical guides and challenges.
Finxter has featured regular posts every month since 2012. The writing is good, not
great, with marginal room for language improvement. Like many Python
programming blogs, Finxter’s content quality is boosted by supportive links and

PyFound is the Blog arm of the Python Foundation, which has published official

While the blog is informative and provides useful links, it’s predicated on sharing
the organization’s development progress and community events. If you sift
through the event and fundraiser updates, you’ll find the technical subject matter
is thoroughly researched, and the writing is clear, concise, and published with few
errors. New posts are sporadic but can be expected between one and five times
per month.

10. Ned Batchelder

RSS, Twitter

Ned Batchelder is the personal blog of veteran Python developer Ned Batchelder.
This is one of the oldest and most original Python bloggersrom the early 2000s.
There’s plenty of content dating back nearly 20 years; some topics being detailed
breakdowns, others simple one paragraph tips. Ned keeps his content simple with
no frills. Blog posts are clear enough to get the point across while sacrificing
some elegance. The only improvement I can recommend would be more frequent
posts; you’d be lucky to get one per month. Fortunately, there’s a huge backlog of
posts to study up on, and it comes directly from the mind of a programmer who’s
experimented with and written Python longer than most.

Practical Business Python is a Python blog platform boasting a variety of
applicable technical subjects, primarily around Python business use cases and
operability versus podcasts or interviews. Articles demonstrate strong technical
knowledge supported with pertinent screenshots. Most posts are more functional
than fluid, but not without references or properly supportive links. Followers can
expect 1-2 posts sporadically per month but should be entertained while they
wait by perusing the trove of articles going back to 2014.

RSS, Twitter

Python Tips is a personal blog that explores technical applications and nuances
of Python. You’ll find a large collection of articles, guides, explanations, and deep-
dives, sure to be useful for most Python programmers. Yasoob, the blog’s sole
writer since 2013, showcases a strong technical grasp of the whats, wheres, whens,
whys, and hows to walk the reader through complex concepts with clarity and
detail. Its usefulness is hamstrung by periods of sporadic posting, followed by 2-3
months of silence. Like many Python blogspots, the articles are informative and
packed with data and supporting links. However, it also reads like many
programming blogs: substance over aesthetics.

Twitter

Invent with Python is an educational Python programming blog by Al Sweigart, a

Python veteran, and teacher. The blog is predicated on providing free tools,
guides, courses, and tutorials to help beginners learning to code. You’ll find
technical articles with a sprinkle of hobby projects and layman term explanation,
and any developer very well may find this blog useful, entertaining, or a
combination of both. It would be more useful if it were updated regularly, but the
site has been around since 2009.

PyCharm is the blog arm of JetBrains’ integrated development environment for

Python programming. Whether it’s a product update, article, tutorial, webinar, or
interview, PyCharm has consistently published a handful of new posts each
month for years. While there are quite a bit of company promotions and sales
plugs, there is an abundance of insightful information. Even outright sales pitches
have references to Python fundamentals, user guides, and an overview of
programming concepts necessary to use the product. Because most posts are
primarily video/audio recordings or short-form text, there isn’t much writing to be
evaluated. Still, what’s there has no glaring marks or inaccuracies, and supporting
links are plentiful.

Twitter

Doug Hellman’s technical blog features posts that toggle between brief patches
and in-depth analysis of methodologies. The subject matter may be useful to
some, but it’s hit or miss, depending on whether your objective is information or
function. The posts, dating back to 2006, sufficiently demonstrate working
proficiency and understanding of existing and new updates as they affect current
programming. The content, typically at least 1-2 sporadic posts per month, is clean
and to the point with reliable in-text links to supporting references.

to blog, with some articles feeling more like a personal blog and some resembling

consistent updates with 1-2 posts per month. While the focus on VS Code limits its
broader appeal to all Python developers, those who utilize VS Code will find this
blog to be a valuable resource with consistent updates and in-depth content
specifically tailored to their Python development workflow.

SkillSoft is an educational software company that produces learning management

back. However, the company has been around since the late ’90s, and you can find
more relevant programming content closer to then. Even so, you shouldn’t expect
a new post with any sort of regularity.

As a blog from an established tech company, it’s not surprising that the writing
quality is excellent and pushes relatively little company promotion. From a
technical standpoint, posts offer valuable content with extensive detail. While
SkillSoft doesn’t publish quite as much content as other blogs, the articles they
do have are modern, insightful, and actionable.

Python Central is an educational Python programming hub with a wide

numerical value to each blog and let the data do the talking. It’s a satisfying
