Good old Udemy Elixr/Pheonix courses being irrelevant within 6 months but still trying to con people by saying they’re updated to current year.

    Well the last version I was actively using was 3.6 and the shiniest new feature I remember is switch cases from 3.7, so yes it has for me

      Well. Yeah, if you want to learn the shiniest new features, you’ll need the shiniest new references.

      But for a new user, for whom Python is probably one of the first languages they learn, a 3.8 reference won’t give them much trouble for a while.

      I say this as a novice Python user tho.

      I think each of 3.8 through 3.11 were substantial, just in different ways.

        I believe it! One glimpse at the latest docs tells me that every major builtin library I knew is depreciated or gone. I’m not even sure if secrets is still the correct encryption library. Honestly I might have to start fresh with Python like it’s a new language
