#Python has several Easter eggs built in! 🐍🥚🐣🐇

An Easter egg is a fun little surprise in a programming language, video game or movie.

Let's talk about some of Python's cool Easter eggs!

🧵🐍👇

🥚1️⃣ - The most famous #Python Easter egg is probably The Zen of Python, which you will see if you "import this"

🥚2️⃣ - What you might not know is that Zen of Python's source is really interesting too:

github.com/python/cpython…

🥚3️⃣ - The next most well-known Easter egg in #Python is probably "import antigravity"

If you type that in your Python REPL, you will be taken to this XKCD comic: xkcd.com/353/

🥚4️⃣ - Create "Hello World" with an import in #Python!

🥚5️⃣ - Let's try and import braces in #Python!

Nope! That Easter Egg won't let us!

🥚6️⃣ - This Easter Egg is kind of tricky. It's for the math nerds in #Python

If you hash infinity in Python, you get back a representation of Pi

If you hash NAN, you will get zero

🥚7️⃣ - Barry Warsaw, a longtime #Python core developer, was nominated "Friendly Language Uncle For Life" or FLUFL

If you do this special import, the inequality operator "!=" is replaced with "<>"

There are a few other Easter eggs mentioned in this curated list of Easter Eggs in Python on GitHub:
