Ugh. I hate this rapid release cycle with introduction of new syntax. One of my colleagues keeps insisting on using the latest and greatest version all the time so everything he writes keeps breaking everyone's environments since they're not savvy to upgrade python, install packages and point the IDE to the new python installation. It's a total 180 from when he pushed python 2 when it only had a few years until it's EOL. Like f-strings look nice and all but there's nothing wrong with the format method and there's always the locals hack to achieve the same thing.
