😮 History

Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation. Python is dynamically-typed and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured, object-oriented and functional programming.

It was released on 20 February 1991, around 3 decades ago🤯.

🪸 Personal Views

I am a constant follower of python news and updates and the moment this update came out I started looking into it.

PEP 657 -- Include Fine-Grained Error Locations in Tracebacks

When printing tracebacks, the interpreter will now point to the exact expression that caused the error instead of just the line.

PEP 680 -- tomllib: Support for Parsing TOML in the Standard Library

A new module, tomllib, was added for parsing TOML. (Contributed by Taneli Hukkinen in bpo-40059)

Updated Modules

math.exp2(): return 2 raised to the power of x.
math.cbrt(): return the cube root of x.
