Advanced Python with AI

Le Wagon · Online

Use AI as a coding partner for serious Python: shape a design, generate the implementation, and review it until the code is typed, tested, and ready to ship.

One short sitting a week is enough. About 45 minutes. That is the part worth keeping on your calendar.

What you practice

  • 1
    Direct the model
    Write specs, constraints, and review notes so generated Python stays typed, tested, and readable.
  • 2
    Build larger programs
    Use AI while you design packages, async services, and data pipelines. Keep the parts that hold up.
  • 3
    Prove the code works
    Add tests, read the diff, and reject output that only looks correct.

Week by week

  1. Week 1. A change you can specify. Take a real function in your codebase and write the change before the model writes any code.
  2. Week 2. Types the model must respect. Add hints, protocols, and dataclasses, then reject suggestions that break them.
  3. Week 3. Tests before the patch. Describe the failing cases. Let the assistant implement only what the tests allow.
  4. Week 4. Async without folklore. Review generated tasks, timeouts, and cancellation instead of trusting a working demo.
  5. Week 5. A refactor with a boundary. Split a large module. You decide the public API. The model fills the inside.
  6. Week 6. The review you would give a colleague. Read a full diff, name what you would not ship, and fix it yourself.

Who it is for

Join if

  • Developers who already write Python functions, classes, and tests, and want a disciplined way to use AI on larger codebases.
  • You want AI in the editor, but you still want to own the design.
  • You can read a traceback and a pytest failure without help.

Skip it if

  • You are learning what a function or a class is.
  • You want prompts that produce an app you never open.

How a week runs

  1. Open the file. One Python file, a few minutes to read.
  2. Do the change. Most of the 45 minutes goes here.
  3. Stop. You are done for the week. The next file waits.
