| | | | Learn by Reading Code: Python Standard Library Design Decisions Explained
Along your Python learning journey, someone may have told you that a great way to level up your skills is to read code written by other people. That’s definitely true, but it’s not easy to find good sources of code to read and study. Python offers some advantages here because not only is the code open source, but the discussion surrounding design decisions is public, too.

PEP 563, PEP 649, and the Future of pydantic
Python 3.7 introduced postponed evaluation of type annotations behind the from future import __annotations__ switch, a feature originally proposed in PEP 563. Libraries like pydantic, used extensively in the popular FastAPI framework, have found it difficult to support PEP 563, which is set to become the default in Python 3.10.
