Python Improvements (or This Is Not Your Teacher's Python)
summary
Covers concrete Python 3.6–3.7 changes: literal f-strings for inline formatting, numeric literals like 1_000_000_000 and formatting with underscores, nanosecond timing APIs, dicts that preserve insertion order, and pathlib replacing os.path joins. Security tools include the secrets module (choice, token_hex) and new hashes like SHA‑3 plus scrypt for slow salts. Language utilities: dataclasses that auto-generate init/eq/repr, namedtuple defaults and replace, and optional static typing with tools like monkeytype.
