    "The book targets Python 3.15 and later"

    That's a bit weird, Python 3.15 isn't even fully released yet.

      You're right that Python 3.15 is not fully released yet, but it's in prerelease which is defined as:

      """ After the first beta, no new features can go in, but feature fixes (including significant changes to new features), bug fixes, and security fixes are accepted for the upcoming feature release. """

      So it's a fairly well known target. Bruce Eckel published the first edition of this book a quarter of a century ago - he has a pretty good handle on the progression of Python.

      Definitions and status for all releases is at https://devguide.python.org/versions/

    Since this is autogenerated, is it possible that it's going to be auto updates? When I feed it into an LLM, do you think it's going to improve the output of the code, or will it need additional prompting?

      Care to provide some examples? Would certainly add to the discussion

        Did you respond to the wrong message?

          Answering a question with another question is rude
