## What is Python Recipes?

An everyday Python reference, from strings and collections to threading and design patterns. Tricky parts of the examples are explained in comments.

You know what you need, but the exact syntax escapes you:
• How do I sort a dict by value?
• How do I serialize an object to JSON and back?
• How do I start a thread and wait for it to finish?
Each has a working example here, ready to adapt to your code.

• 22 sections, including classes, functions and lambdas, files, serialization, exceptions, regular expressions, databases and algorithms.
• Language changes by version, Python 3.0 to 3.13: the walrus operator, match statements, dataclasses, free-threading and more, with before-and-after code.
• Keyword and function reference: over 200 entries. Browse, search, or tap a word in the code to look it up.
• SQL included: JOIN, GROUP BY, subqueries, data types; more than half of the queries run on a real practice database.
• No IDE or local Python needed: over 90% of examples run in the app, with the output right below the code.
• Search covers the code itself, not just titles: type a fragment you remember and find the example.
• Edit examples or add your own; changes are saved in the app.
• Everything except running code works offline. No account needed.

Examples are curated from professional sources and checked before release: the code works and is easy to follow.

FREE VERSION
• 12 runs (examples and SQL combined) and 12 edits a day
• Keyword and function reference with no limits
• Up to 5 examples of your own

The full version unlocks every example and query, removes the limits on edits and on your own examples, and raises the daily run limits to 30 for examples and 80 for SQL. One-time purchase, no subscription.

Built by a developer for developers. The project behind it has been in active development since 2015.

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2025-07-08*

Great app

**Developer response:** Hello, email support service: obraztsov-develop@yandex.ru . I just tested an in-app purchase, everything is working. Therefore, I ask you to contact support and describe in more detail the problem you are experiencing.

### 1/5 — Cant restore purchase.

*2025-07-04*

Great app but put on my phone and i cant restore or purchase its messed up. Please help. Tried the developer help but could not contact

### 3/5 — 疑问

*2025-02-01*

为啥不能编程呀？

**Developer response:** 现在可以了：应用里有了代码编辑器。打开一个示例，点「编辑示例」修改代码，再点「运行」，结果直接显示在代码下方；点「恢复原始」即可还原。也可以在「我的示例」里用「+」写自己的代码。免费版每天可运行 12 次、编辑 12 次。它是随手查写法的速查手册，不是完整的开发环境，但改一改、马上看结果已经足够。

### 5/5 — Удобное прриложение

*2024-11-23*

Отличноое приложение

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте, извиняюсь за задержку с ответом. Если проблема у вас сохраняется, прошу связаться со мной по email. Приложение не должно требовать каждый раз восстанавливать покупку. Мне не удалось воспроизвести данный баг на моих рабочих ПК.

### 5/5 — So Handy

*2024-05-19*

Paid for the pro, and I gotta say this thing is a top notch reference. Great value, so handy. Thanks for making a good app.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback! Glad you liked the app!

### 5/5 — Handy practice when offline

*2023-12-31*

Would love to see more updates. Also perhaps offer extra features for another one-time charge :)

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Once you purchase the full version, there will be no further additional purchases. The full version activates all functions.

### 4/5 — Отзыв

*2023-12-06*

Хотелось бы видеть хоть немного комментариев к коду

**Developer response:** Не простое предложение, но я подумаю над ним еще раз!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-12-05*

I just started learning Python, and this app has proven to be absolutely invaluable. The only thing I would suggest is to possibly use dropdowns or accordion style links for the subsections in the sidebar instead of multiple slides. Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! The idea is good. I'll try to implement it.

### 5/5 — Best way to learn

*2023-09-22*

Great app. Let’s you learn not just by example but by modifying the sample codebits to test the limits of each syntax.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback 🤝

### 5/5 — 希望有c  的类似软件

*2023-08-21*

希望有c  的类似软件

**Developer response:** 谢谢，我需要考虑一下C语言
