Looks like someone beat me to it, but I still want to reply and say that I'm impressed with your resume! :) Thank you for helping with the wiki and thank you for helping with other wikis too! The page definitely doesn't need to be Python 2 friendly any more. You could pick a version to assume (say, 3.10), mention that at the top, and then proceed with all features from that version.
