Tips: uninstall similar python snippet extension first. Then install and Reopen

• added with new python function, update legacy code
• fixes a few unintended typo left by previous developer
• use TAB to rename field in every method / feature
• added def.function.main-() as a main method, type main-
• added def.function.class-(init) for class, type class- or init-
• added label to method belong to string/list/tuple/set/dict
• added python <datatype> and snippet initialisation, try typing str
• added match snippet - python 3.10
• added np-init snippet for numpy array [pip3 install numpy]
• added import snippet, documentation snippet
• added random snippet try random-TextGen
• added for-loop snippet
• added print- snippet
• added matplotlib template plt
• added algorithm template algo-
• added PyMySQL template PyMySQL
• added Django template django
• added dp decimal place, swap, slice, sleep, end, benchmark, timeit, env, self snippet
• new format for easier selection, to see built in example type apply-, random-, class
• get example use <datatype>- while for available method use -<datatype> ex: -string
• welcome to contribute through feedback to add more ideas, make it as complete as possible

Don't worry if you never see that method before, this extension provided a lot of code examples for that.

This extensions not only provide snippets but also is helpful for learning python programming language.

• all python built-in snippets and with at least one example => for each method
• For example if you want to use string replace method type .replace
• But if you don't know how to use replace method then type str find str-replace=>
• Contains a lot of other code snippets (like if:else, for, while, while:else, try:catch, fileIO and oop class snippets examples (polymorphism, encapsulation, inheritance)

Snippets | Descriptions (from 2018, new one is at top)

There are string/list/tuple/set/dict datatype snippet	E.g. Type Out
To get __main__ type def or function or main-	main-
To see built-in method example type apply- scroll down	apply-

class Parrot:

 species = 'bird'

# instance attribute
 def __init__(self, name, age):
 self.name = name
 self.age = age

# instantiate the Parrot class
blu = Parrot('Blu', 10)
woo = Parrot('woo', 15)

# access the class attributes
print(f'Blu is a {blu.__class__.species}')
print(f'Woo is also a {woo.__class__.species}')
# access the instance attributes
print(f'{blu.name} is {blu.age} years old')
