do I understand correctly that this new decorador is just syntax sygar right? It could override methods before, but with this decorador it just get hinting and check

​@@cranberry888correct. Writing a method in a child class with the same name and number of arguments would override it without the need for the decorator.

Python has so much potential. Especially for video game development.

i can’t wait for 3.12 to release. in a perfect world there would be an easier way to migrate python.

Someone else mentioned this, but I didn't know they were referring to a band when they mentioned "token". I thought I was missing out on some programming features. I will check it out!

how is pathlib different from os.path? What am I missing.....

@@DrDeuteron ??? Why the question?

cause I don't want to RTFM

I don't mean to intrude, but now I'm curious as well, but not curious enough to search it 😂 (I will search it now)

According to the first google search: The os module represents paths as strings with which you cannot do much. The pathlib module represents paths as special objects with useful methods and attributes. Source: builtin.com/software-engineering-perspectives/python-pathlib#

It’s a quick Google search how to use pip to update your python version though

What's the problem ? On Gentoo you can have many concurrent versions of Python

just commented that myself, guess they're pretty popular rn! Good on them^^

lmao jumped my eye too, cool!

Nothing forces you to use them. Or even teach them to newcomers. Maths classes also don't start by throwing the kitchen sink at you... But on the off chance they are useful to you, they are there.

Wouldn't you make this observation to any advancement in tech (or beyond) today? Sure, every project has to innovate and change is constant - it's how change is pushed out that makes it a quality hallmark of the successful/enduring projects. You can still program in the older python 2-ish style and get quite far that way - lots of codebases are set up this way today. If you'd like to push envelopes and stop walking through treacle - you make code relevant, interesting, concise, readable with newer features available to you in the language.

use virtual environments. each project should have its own python version and packages pinned with a requirements file, that way other people can run your code, or maybe even you in the future when coming back to an old project that ran on older versions.

Dearpygui is very nice too

If you wanted speed then why didn't you go with rust, go, c++ or even java?

@@saadahmed688 sunk costs. My uni was using python in 2013, and I hadn't coded for 25 years. It was easier to go with the flow and build skills not used since my pascal days; after a few years python was my go-to. If I was starting over, I'd use nim (closer to C but using very python syntax). FYI the goal was to get a doctorate and python was an enabler; a stepping stone to build a simulator the like that had not been seen. In the end I needed 4 PCs running for 18 months on a 106 k line python codebase, delivering 10,000 very accurate EV simulations per thread per second to achieve what I wanted. Many would not have considered writing a system so big (all by my hand - coding took nearly 3 years including test and system verification), but I was coding since the late '60s and have tackled several large projects. Pythons interactive nature greatly sped development, but runtimes were terrible and memory management on Windows caused problems. As in, Windows ignores gc releases until the process parent dies => hog city. Well, in 2.7 that was the case...

You should not be using python for speed bound parts of your project

@@dmitripogosian5084 so sorry; I didn't have a spare 3 years to write it again. Development speed was paramount. The work was to a time limit, and yes I did try alternatives available in the Uni (and having support from the computing profs was important). Matlab was the major alternative but succumbed quickly to the stresses of a real project. Back in that day, lots of problems including type sensitivity in compound structs. If you defined a new type with several elements, like in C, Matlab insisted that each type was written / assigned variables _in the same sequence._ That is, with a compound type instantiated with 3 elements a, b, c as a1, b1, c1 and a2, b2, c2 ...to interoperate they must be assigned values (post creation) in the same order. Changing a1, c1 then a2, c2 all OK. But if you had set c2 then a2 (with the same values) the type system declared this new alien thing had a different type to a1, b1, c1; working between them now forbidden! That was enough for me on top of other problems; Matlab binned. And as said, if starting now I'd use nim. But hindsight is a wonderful thing! :)

I can make a video when 3.12 is released

That decorator is just documentation, it does not do anything
