You are right. Let's be real, if you're teaching Python to kids and bootcampers, you're going to only cover a little bit of what's in Python 2, and that's fine.

The other stuff is mostly designed by framework authors to by used by framework authors. And having nice libraries and frameworks is what really makes this language so useful for everyone. It's trendy to claim Python is meant to be some kind of "pure environment" where the source code of Flask or SQLAlchemy or NumPy should just like a tutorial, but Python has never been that in the 10+ years I've been getting paid to use it. I thought that was the aspiration of Go. As far as I could tell, Hacker News commenters hated Go and now it's mostly ignored and forgotten here.
