Look for this at the PyLadies auction - signed (by me) copy of "Python in a Nutshell, 4th Edition" #PyConUS #pyladies #pynutshell4

Who else is going to PyConUS? This will be my first time in 15 years or so. Not presenting, but I'll try to squeeze in a lightning talk, "What I Learned Working on the Latest Edition of Python in a Nutshell" #pycon #python #pynutshell4

Python in a Nutshell, 4th Edition adds an appendix listing new language features (and those removed) for versions 3.7-3.11. I extracted this data into a #littletable for full text search - visit at http://ptmcg.pythonanywhere.com/python_nutshell_app_a_search #python #pynutshell4

They're HERE!!! #python #pynutshell4

I'm excited and honored to be included in this group of authors - "Python in a Nutshell, 4th Ed" gets released this month! New features in this edition:
- detailed coverage of Python versions 3.7 through 3.11
- all new material on recent Python features, including type annotations and structured pattern matching
- an appendix cataloging changes by each version 3.7 through 3.11
- selected online chapters and all source code examples available in a Github repository

2**53 is an int, but adding 1.0 promotes it to float. But floats are limited in their integer precision to +/-2**53. That's a big number, but ints support a much larger range, +/-2**2**63. #pynutshell4

More like these coming in "Python in a Nutshell, 4th Ed" in December (covering #python versions 3.7-3.11). #pynutshell4
