Google's Python Class

Got a couple of quick examples where Python 3 is easier?

Is it that it is more consistent in places?

String handling that makes sense

No more long type

Division that works as expected

Annotations

No more xrange, iteritems etc, instead you get iterators everywhere

f-strings

I think my personal favorite is exception chaining. Makes it so much easier to debug issues, especially for newbies.

Unicode handling. Python2's implementation on that is broken.
