I saw a TIL post on bsky today about using '/' with pathlib.Path's. Some other neat things recently added to #python
- itertools.batched (3.12)
- accessing re.Match groups using [] notation (faster than calling group()) (3.6)
- 1_000_000 is a legal syntax for 1000000 (3.6)
- command-line access to stdlib modules (python -m <name>)
- uuid (3.12)
- json (3.14)
- random (3.13)
- sqlite3 (3.12)
- http.server (3.4)
- f-strings (3.6)
- true multithreading (3.14)
