PEP's are proposals to change the python language. There are multiple PEP's, some of which were approved, others were rejected. The syntax stuff you mentioned in the first point is PEP8, a specific PEP covering Python's style guide. Other PEP's exist, covering features and other aspects completely unrelated with the style guide, syntax, etc.

Thank you for these videos! Been getting better at coding with Python for a while. A bonus tip when writing code is to time yourself and see how long it takes to create something. Then, try to challenge yourself to complete a project more quickly. Timing yourself forces you to write better code in a shorter amount of time.

How do you turn off auto-complete in pyCharm?

The PEP rules also suggest four space indentations and snake case, so it's not all good.

Thanks for the tips, they'll come in handy for the IOPCC. And you're right, C is an easier language. :)

But how do I use linters in VS Code? I installed an extension and I also pip installed pycodestyle. But my code editor still doesn't catch extra whitespaces in print (like you showed @ 5:55)

Is there a builtin index function which does not raise an exception when the value is not in the list and return a default value instead of? Like the get function for dicts. Tx
