You probably heard the term syntactic sugar. That is syntax within a programming language

that is designed to make things easier to read or to express. It makes the language sweeter

for humans to use. It turns out, Brett Cannon has spent two years diving into and writing

about Python's sweet language features and how they really work down inside C Python.

He joins me on the show today to dive into a few of the more relevant posts he's written about.

Brett, welcome back to Talk Python and me. You've been here a time or two. Always great to have you here. Well, thanks for having me yet again, Michael. I'm glad I've not worn out my welcome quite yet. You always have so much cool stuff going on and so many interesting perspectives.
