    I had to use Python for a bit at work and it was confusing

    pipenv, venv, virtualenv, poetry…wtf is all this shit

    a.b vs a['b'] vs a.get('b')…wtf is a KeyError

      What happens in other languages you use when you try to access a non-existing key for a hash/map/dict?

      What language do you use that accessing an object attribute is the same that accessing a dict key?

      What knowledge do you have (or not) that KeyError is a mistery to you?
