Real-world Python code optimizations
In this video I explain the optimizations for the upcoming version of md-toc (8.2.1). You'll see an in-depth analysis about some design decisions.
I'll talk about list comprehensions, type annotations, dictionaries and hash functions
md-toc is a Python program capable of generating clickable table of contents for markdown files.

CHAPTERS
0:00 Intro
0:26 Transform repeated lines of code into a for loop
1:41 Transform the for loop into a list comprehension using the assignment operator (PEP 572): in this case the list comprehension is not the best solution
3:08 Having a look at some examples of the assignment operator (PEP 572)
3:41 Complex typing annotations: passing from manually checking the variable types to simple type annotations. This saves lots of boliterplate code
4:32 PEP 484: Type Hints. Seeing various examples in the document and in md-toc's code
5:37 The new TypedDict definitions in md-toc and the `typing` Python documentation examples
8:02 Caveats for TypedDict definitions: to be valid TypedDict class attributes, the dictionary keys must have the same properties of normal Python variables
9:17 Overview of PEP 589
9:43 For a for loop to a dict comprehension
10:41 Using a hash function in the key before saving a key-value in a dict: improve memory usage by potentially a lot at the cost of some speed. Example that compares a normal key with a hashed key in terms of memory usage
