Intro

When I was a younger developer I often sat in front of my PC and randomly pick some python official documentation articles (I’m still doing it, but with lower frequency). This activity comes out of curiosity — what is there that I don’t know is there, because it’s often the case that you will not see some language-specific constructs in years in your day-to-day job.
