# DBOS Python Best Practices
Guide for building reliable, fault-tolerant Python applications with DBOS durable workflows. Targets DBOS Python 3.x.
## When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- Adding DBOS to existing Python code
- Creating workflows and steps
- Using queues for concurrency control
- Implementing workflow communication (events, messages, streams)
- Configuring and launching DBOS applications
- Using DBOSClient from external applications
- Testing DBOS applications
