instead of:
len (list)
I find methods like len to be harder to discover than instance...

re.match(r"\w+", "dog")

pattern = re.compile(r"\w+") pattern.match("dog")

HTTP requests include an Accept-Language header which is set according to your locale preferences on most OS/browser combinations .

I dont see the point of doing this as you already have built the path and know what "D" is .
