I’m learning python and probably wading in too quickly without really having the basics as second nature (I mean I've done a couple of courses that quickly razz through the basics, and I even did an edX basic data science course and have done about a dozen of projectEuler but via clumsy brute force methods)
lots of examples, but I think things like list comprehension and having intuitive grasp of how the data structures work with indexing and stuff, but just picking out one example
how do I train myself to not write functions like #1 below (my solution to an easy codewars problem) but right away think about solutions #2 or #3 which just seem better and more “pythony”.

def get_count(input_str): num_vowels = 0 # your code here vowels = ["a","e","i","o","u"] for vowel in vowels: num_vowels += input_str.count(vowel) return num_vowels def get_count2(inputStr): return sum(1 for let in inputStr if let in "aeiouAEIOU") def get_count3(inputStr): return sum(c in 'aeiou' for c in inputStr)
