I reckon `.__monty__()` should exist as a valid special method—the specialest of all special methods.

Who’s with me on this? Let’s start a petition…

No coding knowledge + The Python Coding Place membership = Intermediate programmer

Little coding knowledge + The Python Coding Place membership = Great programmer

Intermediate coding knowledge + The Python Coding Place membership = Superpower-like programmer

The meaning of life, the universe, and everything is…

Can I use pen and paper to count words?

Only joking, I also read The Python Coding Book, after all!

What was/is the trickiest topic to learn and master for you when moving from beginner* to intermediate* level in Python?

That feels very much like an ongoing process. But yes, agreed. There are many patterns that are specific to beginners and are never present with more seasoned programmers

>>> agent_id = 7 
>>> agent_name = "James Bond" 
>>> f"Agent {agent_id:03}: {agent_name}" 
'Agent 007: James Bond'

>>> agent_id = 7 >>> agent_name = "James Bond" >>> f"Agent {agent_id:03}: {agent_name}" 'Agent 007: James Bond'

Need leading zeros to display your secret agent codes?

No worries…Python's f-strings got you covered

```
>>> agent_id = 7
>>> agent_name = "James Bond"
>>> f"Agent {agent_id:03}: {agent_name}"
'Agent 007: James Bond'
```

Note the format specifier `:03`
