#2the Path thing is incredible! I wasn't aware of it. I'll definitively be replacing my os.path.join calls for a more readable version of it.

#3I'm not sure why this is targeted toward data scientists; these tips are useful for any Python user.

Wow, I switched to Python 3 really early on and never knew about pathlib.

#5Is the np.dot -> @ tip reliable? I thought these were fairly different in practice.

The read_bytes() and read_text() methods are particularly useful. They're new in Python 3.5.

#7Didn’t know about the enforce library (https://github.com/RussBaz/enforce/blob/master/README.md) — but have been wanting something like this.
Thanks for the useful list!

#8I've moved to python 3 over the past couple of months, after resisting for the better part of a decade. I like it.
One surprising thing I learned from this document is that dicts now iterate in assignment order, not hash order. That's going to break some code for people.

Dicts never had an iteration order, though. If you relied on dicts iterating in order, you were kind of asking for it.

I believe newer Python versions have at least deterministic iteration order (correct me if I'm wrong), while some previous ones had a non-deterministic one (non-deterministic between mutiple invocations of the interpreter). But there is also OrderedDict which iterates in assignment order.
