I mentioned at the opening of this course that Python 3.11 is a huge release. Let's put that in perspective, huge to one person.

Could be. There's some changes for the other. If you go over to docs.python.org. And you pull up the change log, you can see the
0:18
URL. Here. If you pull this up it gives you you can see like 1 to 2 sentences per thing change. So the first thing is a security release fixing,
0:28
multiplying a list by an integer. There's some kind of overflow Now. This list goes on and on. In fact, there are 1,75,000 words in this list.

How about some comparisons. Your typical novel is 80,000 words. Your typical nonfiction book is 80-120,000 words. That just the release notes,

things out of this list and we'll just do like a quick quick hit of, you know, 20 or 30, 40 of these extra pieces in here that are still important,
1:34

1:38
go check it out. The real point here, though is not necessarily encourage you to read the change log but just to show Yeah, it's actually really huge.
