Code Examples: Turning Python Scripts Into Production Systems

Image
In my previous article, From Script to Production: What Python Tutorials Don’t Teach , I explained the mindset shift required to move beyond beginner-level Python. This post is the practical companion. Here, we’ll walk through concrete examples that show the transition From: Script-style code To production-ready structure ❌ Tutorial Version pip install requests python app.py That’s fine for learning. It’s chaos in production. ✅ Production Version python -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate pip install -r requirements.txt requirements.txt requests==2.31.0 python-dotenv==1.0.1 Better yet, use pyproject.toml: [project] name = "order-service" version = "0.1.0" dependencies = [ "requests==2.31.0", "python-dotenv==1.0.1" ] Why this matters: Production is about determinism. Same dependencies. Same versions. Same behavior. 2️⃣ Stop Using print() — Start Logging ❌ Script Style print("Fet...

From Script to Production: What Python Tutorials Don’t Teach

Image
🔎 Looking for full code examples? Read the companion guide here. https://meganetsoftware.blogspot.com/2026/02/code-examples-turning-python-scripts.html You've finished the tutorial. You've built the to-do app, understood list comprehensions, and maybe even trained a small machine learning model. You feel good. You feel ready. Then you try to take your script and actually deploy it somewhere — and it falls apart. This is the gap that almost nobody talks about. Python tutorials are great at teaching the language. They're terrible at teaching what it actually means to write production-grade software. Here's what they skip. 1. Environment Management Is Non-Negotiable Tutorials tell you to run pip install requests. They rarely explain why this is a catastrophic habit in the real world. When you install packages globally, you're on a collision course. Project A needs numpy 1.21. Project B needs numpy 1.26. Your system can only hold one. Now add a production ...
