Today, I ran into ellipsis again. This time, it is COMPLETELY different
from before.
Here is a reproducible code:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
...
x = np.linspace(0, 1)
y = np.sin(4 * np.pi * x) * np.exp(-5 * x)
plt.title('Week cycle')
plt.xlabel('Month')

Probably never.
Like most programming languages Python has a load of rarely used,
obscure features. Most Python programmers never use ellipses,

What's a literal? The only other time I heard about it was studying
Shakespare. ;)
I don't know what literal is. So, it won't help me to understand ellipsis,
