?? Python 3.12 is out, and it's packed with exciting features! Here is a brief rundown of some fantastic new features:
??? Improved Error Messages: Python 3.12 makes debugging easier. For example, if you forget to import a module like math, you'll get a clear error message reminding you to import it first:
>>> math.pi
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
NameError: name 'math' is not defined. Did you forget to import 'math'?
? F-strings Enhancement: F-strings now allow you to reuse the string quote character within expressions. For instance, you can use double quotes inside an f-string delimited by double quotes without any issues:
>>> version = {"major": 3, "minor": 12}
>>> f"Python {version['major']}.{version['minor']}"
'Python 3.12'
?? Generic Classes and Functions: Python 3.12 introduces a new syntax for type variables, enabling you to create generic classes and functions. Here's an example of a generic function:
def first[T](elements: list[T]) -> T:
return elements[0]
This allows you to write more versatile and adaptable code.
