Hey everyone, I'm Kenneth,
the Python teacher here at Treehouse.

3
00:00:07,835 --> 00:00:10,950
Now in all of our courses,
we're using Python 3.5,

4
00:00:10,950 --> 00:00:15,008
because until December 2016 that
was the newest version of Python.

5
00:00:15,008 --> 00:00:17,877
Just before the new year though,
3.6 was released and

6
00:00:17,877 --> 00:00:20,046
brought with it a few really nice updates.

7
00:00:20,046 --> 00:00:22,277
This workshop is going to be different
from most of the others you've

8
00:00:22,277 --> 00:00:22,980
watched here.

9
00:00:22,980 --> 00:00:24,210
There won't really be any code for

10
00:00:24,210 --> 00:00:26,170
you to write except to try
out the features with me.

11
00:00:26,170 --> 00:00:30,110
If you just wanna sit back and
see what these updates are, go for it.

12
00:00:30,110 --> 00:00:31,290
As you can probably imagine,

13
00:00:31,290 --> 00:00:34,580
a new version of Python brings
quite a few new features and fixes.

14
00:00:34,580 --> 00:00:37,680
I won't be covering everything in the
update, but I've linked the release notes

15
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,655
in the teacher's notes if you want to see
absolutely everything that's included.

16
00:00:40,655 --> 00:00:43,830
Consider this workshop to be
the highest of highlights.

17
00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:47,370
So stick around and find out about
formatted string literals, underscores and

18
00:00:47,370 --> 00:00:49,120
numbers, variable annotations, and more.
