This topis seems a bit convoluted, I had to read it at least twice
Maybe: "What recent or upcoming change in Python are you excited about?"

Also, some of these are just getting kinda old even if there's no specific problem with them. For example, "What's your favourite PEP" gets new possible answers every year and there's opportunity to get surprised. But "What's your favourite aspect of Python development?" has maybe 3 or 4 likely answers |

Quite similar to "What is something you know now, that you wish you knew when starting out?"
| - If you could only use one data structure for the rest of your life, what would it be? | ||
| - What was the last time you wrote code that worked on the first try? |

Not a fan of either of these questions, but no strong opinion.
I don't think that should be too much of a criteria, as I'd guess that most people aren't active enough to be familiar with all the topics (and also, removing too many topics would probably make the existing ones feel old faster). |

Some more topic suggestions from me: + What's your approach to documenting code? Do you write comments?
+ What Python concept do you find difficult to teach?
+ Do you use type annotations in Python? Why?
+ When writing tests, do you use mocks and monkey-patching?
+ Is there a programming rule that you never break?
+ What is a language feature or library that you wish Python projects stopped using?
^ as a replacement for "What is your *least favorite* feature of Python?" since it has more chance of someone to reply due to the OR
(or maybe in addition? you could hate a feature and it could also be very rarely used)
+ What are your most and least favorite Python keywords?
+ What are your most and least favorite Python built-ins?
+ What's your favorite Python-related talk or video?
+ What is the most satisfying refactoring you've done? |
