  • New: String remove prefix suffix methods.

    • str.removeprefix(prefix): If the string starts with the prefix string, return str. Otherwise, return a copy of the original string.
    • str.removesuffix(suffix): If the string ends with the suffix string and that suffix is not empty, return str. Otherwise, return a copy of the original string.

  • New: Current local date and time.

  • New: TypedDict.

    Special construct to add type hints to a dictionary. At runtime it is a plain dict.

    Example:

    class Point2D(TypedDict):
    x: int
    y: int
    label: str

a: Point2D = {'x': 1, 'y': 2, 'label': 'good'}  # OK
b: Point2D = {'z': 3, 'label': 'bad'}           # Fails type check

  • New: Ignore line for type checking.

    To ignore type checking in one particular line of the code, add the comment # type: ignore at the end of that line
