Create succinct and expressive implementations with functional programming in Python
About This Book- Implement common functional programming design patterns and techniques in Python
- Learn how to choose between imperative and functional approaches based on expressiveness, clarity, and performance
- Apply functional Python to common Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) programming problems
This book is for developers who want to use Python to write programs that lean heavily on functional programming design patterns. You should be comfortable with Python programming, but no knowledge of functional programming paradigms is needed.
In DetailPython is an easy-to-learn and extensible programming language that offers a number of functional programming features. Its ideally suited to a number of applications in the broad space of data science.
This practical guide demonstrates the Python implementation of a number of functional programming techniques and design patterns. Starting with a general overview of functional programming concepts, you will explore common functional features such as first-class and higher-order functions, pure functions and more, and how these are accomplished in Python. Additionally, you will cover how common functional optimizations can be handled in Python. Youll also explore data preparation techniques and data exploration in depth. Moving on, you will learn how the Python standard library fits the functional programming model. The book concludes with a look at the PyMonad project and some larger examples.
By the end of this book, you will be able to understand what functional programming is all about, its impact on the programming workflow, why its important, and how to implement it in Python.

Steven Lott has been programming since the 1970s, when computers were large, expensive, and rare. As a contract software developer and architect, he has worked on hundreds of projects, from very small to very large. He's been using Python to solve business problems for over 10 years. He's particularly adept struggling with gnarly data representation problems. His other titles include Mastering Object-Oriented Python and Python for Secret Agents , both by Packt Publishing. After spending years as a technomadliving in various places on the east coast of the UShe has dropped the hook in the Chesapeake Bay. He blogs at http://slott-softwarearchitect.blogspot.com.
Oleg Broytman is a software developer currently working with web technologies on Unix/Linux using the Python programming language on the server side and Javascript on the client side. Oleg started to work with computers even before the IBM PC era. He worked with DOS for some time and then switched to Unix, mostly Linux and FreeBSD. For about 25 years, he has been working in the medicine field in Moscow, Russia.

I'd like to thank my wife Olga! She supports everything I do any way I do it (well, mostly!). Her love and support make me happy and allow me to achieve as much as I do.
Rui Carmo is a systems architect with 20 years' experience in telecoms and Internet, having worked in software development, product management, mobile network planning, systems engineering, virtualization, cloud services, and a lot of what the industry is currently trying to roll into the "DevOps" moniker. He has been coding in Python for over a decade (starting with Python 2.3) and has gravitated towards Clojure, Erlang, and Hy (an LISP that leverages the Python AST) in the past few years due to the intrinsic advantages of functional programming.
He currently lives in the wonderful city of Lisbon, Portugal, with his wife and two children, and he blogs at http://taoofmac.com. You can find him on GitHub, Twitter, and Hacker News as @rcarmo.
Julien Danjou is an open source hacker working at Red Hat. He started his career as a Debian developer and contributed to a lot of free software (GNU Emacs, Freedesktop, and so on), writing some software on his own, such as the awesome window manager.
Nowadays, Julien contributes to OpenStack, an open source cloud platform entirely written in Python. He has been a Python developer since then, worked on Hy (an LISP dialect in Python), and written a self-published book titled The Hacker's Guide to Python in 2014.
Amoatey Harrison is a Python programmer with a passion for building software systems to solve problems. When he is not programming, he is playing video games, swimming, or simply hanging out with friends.
After graduating from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology with a degree in computer engineering, he is doing his national service at the GCB Bank Head Office in Accra, Ghana.
He would like to think of himself as a cool nerd.
ShivinKapur is an aspiring computer science student who is passionate about learning new things.
Gong Yi is a software developer working in Shanghai, China. He maintains an open source project at https://github.com/topikachu/python-ev3, which can control LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 by Python language.
I thank my wife Zhu Xiaoling for her patience and love, and I thank my son Yang Yang for being the best thing ever.

Programming languages sometimes fit neatly into tidy categories like imperative and functional. Imperative languages might further subdivide into those that are procedural and those that include features for object-oriented programming. The Python language, however, contains aspects of all of these three language categories. Though Python is not a purely functional programming language, we can do a great deal of functional programming in Python.
