I gave a lightning talk at a bunch of conferences in 2025 about some of the exciting new things coming in Python 3.14, including template strings.

I localised most of the slides for the PyCon I was at, including this comic. Here they are!

@pyconee23 Interesting initiative by David Mertz to define an attribution description framework to "create a mechanism to describe both the origin and permitted uses of particular content within training corpora of machine learning models".
