Python Development FAQs

Question 1

What does the Python Development Claude Code skill do?

Accepted Answer

This skill optimizes Claude for modern Python 3.12+ development. It configures the AI to use the uv package manager for fast dependency resolution, enforces the Google Python Style Guide, and ensures all code uses robust type hinting and modern standard library patterns.

Question 2

What code quality standards does this skill follow?

Accepted Answer

The skill enforces the Google Python Style Guide, requiring explicit type hints for all function signatures, the use of context managers for resource handling, and specific exception handling instead of bare except blocks to ensure production-grade code.

Question 3

When should I use this skill instead of other Python skills?

Accepted Answer

Use this core skill for general-purpose Python tasks, standalone scripts, CLI utilities, and data processing. For specialized web server development, use the python-backend skill, and for dedicated testing suites, use the python-testing skill.

Question 4

Does this skill support asynchronous programming and data science?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It includes optimized implementation patterns for async operations using httpx and data processing workflows using pandas or polars, ensuring Claude uses the most efficient libraries for the task.

Question 5

How does this skill handle Python dependencies?

Accepted Answer

It leverages the uv package manager for efficiency. For single-file scripts, it uses inline metadata (PEP 723) so dependencies are handled automatically. For larger projects, it utilizes pyproject.toml and 'uv sync' to maintain a standardized development environment.
