I like the dictionaries have get() method tip; So you dont have to worry about unwanted exceptions in code. Then just check for the None case.

I'm only done with the first page so far, but I wouldn't call most of these "hidden". Many of them are oft-touted selling points of the language or appear in basic tutorials.

That being said, today I learned about the two-argument form of iter, `iter(f, until)`. So I guess I can't complain too much :D
