[@codingfox6779]

Thanks for the python short series, looking for new tips!

[@mikeckennedy]

Glad you like them!

rad, love these. very helpful

[@mikeckennedy]

Thanks so much!

Thanks Michael! Very useful info on merging dictionaries, but HOLY COW how I didn't know about this - f'{query=}' use of f-strings? This is SO CONVENIENT! This going to save me so much time! (of course not for debugging with print statements ha ha who does that amiright)

[@mikeckennedy]

It is super convenient! f-strings just keep on giving. BTW, check out flynt to convert older code to f-string style if you want to upgrade easily.

[@smellypunks]

Just blown my mind! Time to upgrade to 3.10

[@mikeckennedy]

Nice, thanks Cam! Technically, this will work in 3.9 and above (I was offer by one on my version requirements).

[@PaulJacobson]

This is awesome!

[@mikeckennedy]

Thanks Paul!

Nice! I'm so used to ** i'ts going to be hard to break the habit :) - I do like how clean the syntax is though.

[@mikeckennedy]

It is cool syntax but will take some getting use do. I only have previously used that style for type declarations (like: int | str ).

[@meowvee]

If you are not modifying the merged dictionary, there is another way: Using collections.ChainMap

[@mikeckennedy]

Good to know, thanks Hai.

[@exchangevisual6252]

Solid Solid

[@mikeckennedy]

Thanks!

I still think I like the ** sort of destructering way. Maybe I am just used to it but my brain doesn’t want to grasp the pipe… maybe over time. Great video

[@mikeckennedy]

Thanks Brandon. I agree that I'd probably start writing **dict first. :)

Method 3 its pretty cool, but for me i personally do option 2 it's just more readable..

[@mikeckennedy]

I agree, method 2 and 3 are pretty similar!

[@motehpro]

This is actually available from Python 3.9 :) Nice video though

[@mikeckennedy]

Yeah, thanks, I was off by one!
