Python编程语言中有哪些鲜为人知但很有用的特性?
尽量将答案限制在Python核心。 每个回答一个特征。 给出一个例子和功能的简短描述，而不仅仅是文档链接。 使用标题作为第一行标记该特性。

当前回答
切片运算符中的step参数。例如:
a = [1,2,3,4,5]
>>> a[::2] # iterate over the whole list in 2-increments
[1,3,5]
特殊情况x[::-1]是“x反转”的有用习语。
>>> a[::-1]
[5,4,3,2,1]
其他回答
Python3中的Unicode标识符:
>>> 'Unicode字符_تكوين_Variable'.isidentifier()
True
>>> Unicode字符_تكوين_Variable='Python3 rules!'
>>> Unicode字符_تكوين_Variable
'Python3 rules!'
Python的禅宗
>>> import this
The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters
Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
例外else条款:
try:
put_4000000000_volts_through_it(parrot)
except Voom:
print "'E's pining!"
else:
print "This parrot is no more!"
finally:
end_sketch()
使用else子句比在try子句中添加额外的代码更好，因为它可以避免意外地捕获由try保护的代码所没有引发的异常。除了声明。

在Python中解压缩不需要的文件
有人在博客上说Python没有zip()的解压缩函数。Unzip的计算很简单，因为:
>>> t1 = (0,1,2,3)
>>> t2 = (7,6,5,4)
>>> [t1,t2] == zip(*zip(t1,t2))
True
但经过反思，我宁愿使用显式的unzip()。
一些内置的收藏夹，map()， reduce()和filter()。所有这些都非常快速和强大。
