Editorial policy

This page explains how articles on Python Programming Snippets & Cheatsheets are produced and the rules they have to meet.

How articles are written

Articles are drafted with the help of AI writing tools. Since October 2026 every new article is checked by automated rules before it is published, and articles that fail are held back. We use AI to help with structure and drafting, not as a source of facts.

Our rules

• No invented experience. We don't claim to have personally tested, used or visited something, and we don't make up anecdotes, quotes, testimonials or case studies.
• No unsourced statistics. A figure must link to where it comes from, or it is left out.
• Official and primary sources. Where we cite facts we link to official or primary sources, such as government sites, manufacturers and the organisations involved.
• No placeholders or filler. Unfinished text is never published.
• On topic. We only publish articles that fit what this site is about, and we avoid publishing near-duplicates of existing articles.
• A steady pace. We publish a few articles a week at most, so each one can meet these rules.
• No paid placement. Nobody can pay to be included or recommended in an article.

Older articles

Some articles were published before these rules were introduced. We are reviewing them, and we have already removed articles that contained unfinished text. If you find something that doesn't meet these rules, please tell us.

Corrections

If you spot a mistake or something out of date, please get in touch through our contact page. We correct errors when we are made aware of them.
