      Protip: pip install pyupgrade And then find . -name '*.py' -not -path '*.tox*' -print0 | xargs -0 pyupgrade --py310-plus in your repo to update what can be updated.

      BTW, pyupgrade’s creator, asottile (that’s his name) also has an informative channel: Anthony Writes Code where he explains Python features, or goes into interesting bugs he ran into, etc. The good stuff.

ETL that happens entirely on the cluster needs to be so optimised that I don’t need anything fancy thankfully.
