Congratz on your 100th video of anthony explains!

I saw the merge request with a video on flake8 and came to check your youtube channel :) Nicely done ! Just a little nitpick, I think the print_me function should be a _str_ and then instead of user.print_me() the loop would be print(user).

I like the 'Carmen' easter egg!

[GabrieleBonetti]

So they look basically identical to dataclasses but can be chosen over dataclasses when immutability is needed

[optimiserlenergie]

The initial form was possible to write as a one liner, which is not the case of the later one !

If you wanted to have a mutable default argument like a List for a NamedTuple, how would you go about doing it?
I'd use `field(default_factory=list)` if I were using a dataclass.

ok that's actually pretty hot

i do wonder what's actually happening here, what dunder method is being run when i do xyz: Type?

[sopidf]

is there a good reason to inherit NamedTuple instead of a decorating with dataclass?

[euclitian]

how is this different from @dataclass?

[gedtoon]

The typing.NamedTuple is better, with improved syntax.

[ShivanS]

What type is get_users returning? A list of namedtuples?
