The version of `flake8` was too old to support with Python 3.12 -- there is new F-string support that caused false positives sadly. The updated version has fixes for all of these. This in turn updates codespell which has picked up several new fixes that actually fire in our code, so also fix everything. While we don't do more in-depth updates to old proposals, similar to simply fixing broken links, fixing automatically detected typos seems scalable and fine. All edits were automatically generated here.
Principles
Some language goals will have widely-applicable, high-impact, and sometimes non-obvious corollaries. We collect concrete language design principles in this directory as a way to document and clarify these. Principles clarify, but do not supersede, goals and priorities. Principles should be used as a tool in making decisions, and to clarify to contributors how decisions are expected to be made.
A key difference between a principle and the design of a language feature is that a principle should inform multiple designs, whereas a feature's design is typically more focused on achieving a specific goal or set of goals. The principle can help achieve consistency across those multiple designs.
Note that these principles seek to establish both the approaches the project wants to pursue, as well as those we want to exclude.
