Annotations evaluate arbitrary code, type hints do not. Although often confused, fairly enough as they were introduced in the same PEP, an annotation is a part of the Python syntax and type hints are a specific set of notations and ways you

Don't write code where every module tries to make a root logger or set the logger config then. Each module should use `logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)` and the logger config can set in one place, conventionally in the `__main__` s

Very few modules in the standard library actually get deprecated, that's why this PEP got put together. It also took 3 years of discussion to achieve consensus and the initial list was whittled down quite a bit and the reasoning became

This blog post does not do a good job of communicating the status of these PEPs, for example the first one "PEP 671" is in Draft status and it has not been accepted by the Steering Council. In fact I would be surprised if it did g

While I completely agree with all your other reasoning. It should be pointed out that PEP 8 is not intended to be a styling guide for user code, it's intended to be a styling guide for the standard library: https://www.pytho

Python 2.7 was released on 2010-07-03, the next Python major release after that was Python 3.2 on 2011-02-20, therefore there have been *nine* major releases since Python 2.7: 3.2 to 3.10. Also since Python 2.7 was made EoL there have been

The winds are probably changing with the CPython maintainers. I expect in the next few versions the efforts of PyJion and Faster Cpython will add a JIT API to plug in your own JIT in to CPython.
