A Python Language Feature is a language feature that provides specific syntax or functionality in the Python Programming Language.
- AKA: Python Feature, Python Syntax Feature, Python Language Construct.
- Context:
- It can typically enable Python Programming Patterns through syntax support and language constructs.
- It can typically follow Python Enhancement Proposals for feature specification and implementation guidelines.
- It can typically require Python Version compatibility for feature availability and syntax support.
- It can typically influence Python Code Style through idiomatic usage and best practices.
- It can often simplify Python Code by reducing boilerplate code and repetitive patterns.
- It can often interact with other Python Language Features through feature composition and syntax combinations.
- It can often evolve through Python Versions with enhancements and deprecations.
- It can range from being a Core Python Feature to being an Advanced Python Feature, depending on its usage frequency.
- It can range from being a Simple Python Feature to being a Complex Python Feature, depending on its learning curve.
- It can range from being a Syntactic Python Feature to being a Semantic Python Feature, depending on its feature type.
- It can range from being a Stable Python Feature to being an Experimental Python Feature, depending on its maturity level.

- Example(s):
- Python Operator Features, such as:
- Walrus Operator for assignment expressions.
- Unpacking Operator for sequence unpacking.
- Matrix Multiplication Operator (@) for numeric operations.
- Python Syntax Features, such as:
- Python Comprehension Syntax for list/dict/set creation.
- Python Decorator Syntax for function modification.
- Python Context Manager (with statement).
- Python F-String for string formatting.
- Python Type Features, such as:
- Python Type Hint for type annotations.
- Python Dataclass for data structures.
- Python Protocol for structural subtyping.
- ...
- Python Operator Features, such as:
- Counter-Example(s):
- Python Library Feature, which comes from external packages not language itself.
- Python Implementation Detail, which varies between Python implementations.
- Python Best Practice, which is convention not language feature.
