+ `++a` parses as `+(+a)` which translates to `a`. Similarly, the output of the statement `--a` can be justified.

+ This StackOverflow [thread](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3654830/why-are-there-no-and-operators-in-python) discusses the rationale behind the absence of increment and decrement operators in Python.

* Multiple Python threads won't run your *Python code* concurrently (yes you heard it right!). It may seem intuitive to spawn several threads and let them execute your Python code concurrently, but, because of the [Global Interpreter Lock](https://wiki.python.org/moin/GlobalInterpreterLock) in Python, all you're doing is making your threads execute on the same core turn by turn. Python threads are good for IO-bound tasks, but to achieve actual parallelization in Python for CPU-bound tasks, you might want to use the Python [multiprocessing](https://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html) module.

|
||||
* Sometimes the `print` method might not print values immediately. For example,
|
||||
|
||||
```py
|
||||
# File some_file.py
|
||||
import time
|
||||
|
||||
print("wtfpython", end="_")
|
||||
time.sleep(3)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will print the `wtfpython` after 10 seconds due to the `end` argument because the output buffer is flushed either after encountering `\n` or when the program finishes execution. We can force the buffer to flush by passing `flush=True` argument.

* List slicing with out of the bounds indices throws no errors
|
||||
```py
|
||||
>>> some_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
