Python Institute PCPP-32-101 Exam - Topic 6 Question 38 Discussion

Actual exam question for Python Institute's PCPP-32-101 exam

Question #: 38
Topic #: 6

Select the true statements related to PEP 8 programming recommendations for code writing. (Select two answers:)

AYou should use the not ... is operator (e.g. if not spam is None:), rather than the is not operator (e.g. if spam is not None:), to increase readability.

BYou should make object type comparisons using the ismstanceQ method (e.g. if isinstance (obj, int) :) instead of comparing types directly (eg if type(obj) is type(i)).

CYou should write code in a way that favors the CPython implementation over PyPy, Cython. and Jython.

DYou should not write string literals that rely on significant trailing whitespaces as they may be visually indistinguishable, and certain editors may trim them

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, D

Option B is true because theunbind()method is invoked from within a widget's object1.

Option D is true because theunbind()method needs the event name as an argument1.

Theunbind()method in Tkinter is used to remove a binding between an event and a function. It can be invoked from within a widget's object when a binding is no longer needed. The method requires the event name as an argument to remove the binding for that specific event. For example:

button = tk.Button(root, text='Click me')

button.bind('<Button-1>', callback_function) # bind left mouse click event to callback_function

button.unbind('<Button-1>') # remove the binding for the left mouse click event

I agree with B, type comparisons should be clean and clear!

I definitely recall that PEP 8 recommends using isinstance for type comparisons. It makes sense to avoid direct type checks!

I’m a bit confused about the is vs. is not operators. I thought both were acceptable, but maybe one is more readable?

I think I remember that using isinstance is preferred for type checking, but I'm not entirely sure about the specifics.

Trailing whitespaces, huh? I didn't know that was something to watch out for. Good to know for writing clean, readable code.

The part about favoring CPython over other implementations is new to me. I'll make sure to read up on that before the exam.

Ah, I remember the recommendation about using isinstance() instead of directly comparing types. That's a good tip to keep in mind.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the difference between "not ... is" and "is not". I'll need to review that part of the PEP 8 guidelines.

Wait, PEP 8 actually recommends something other than 'import this'? I'm shocked! I'll just go with the flow and pick B and D.

Haha, 'is not' over 'not... is'? That's like saying 'this is not not true' instead of 'this is true'. Gotta go with A and D, folks.
