The thing I love about python is it’s elegance; and I thing that is partially due to its syntactic sugar. Between list comprehensions, destructuring, enumerators, generators with yield, and a bunch more, what is your favorite

    I come from the school of thought that programs should look like what they do. So I have mixed felling about the complexity increase in Python. Also about those pushing types.

    That said the subrange notation is one of the most important. I have used everything you mentioned in the appropriate places though. I find myself using list comprehensions and also the format method more often these days.

      I’m with you on that. Type hints are supposed to be just that, hints. I never saw the appeal of forcing python into a statically typed language with tools like pyrights.
