Python 3.14 introduces improvements to its interactive shell (REPL), bringing a more modern, colorful, and user-friendly environment. The new features make the Python 3.14 REPL a powerful tool for experimentation. Whether you’re testing a quick idea, exploring a new library, or debugging a tricky snippet, the REPL gives you instant feedback—no files, no setup, just type and run. The default CPython REPL intentionally kept things minimal. It was fast, reliable, and available everywhere, but it lacked the richer, more ergonomic […]

In Python, the arrow symbol (->) appears in function definitions as a notation to indicate the expected return type. This notation is optional, but when you include it, you clarify what data type a function should return: >>> def get_number_of_titles(titles: list[str]) -> int: … return len(titles) … You may have observed that not all Python code includes this particular syntax. What does the arrow notation mean? In this

Missing values can derail your analysis. In pandas, you can use the .dropna() method to remove rows or columns containing null values—in other words, missing data—so you can work with clean DataFrames. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how this method’s parameters let you control exactly which data gets removed. As you’ll see, these parameters give you fine-grained control over how much of your data to clean. Dealing with null values is essential for keeping datasets clean and avoiding the issues […]
