Pythonistas, I came across a snippet and I am wondering why it is written this way.
dirs[:] = [d for d in dirs if not d.startswith('.')]

@dataclass(slots=True)

x: int
y: int
color: str

Python Tip: bisect for Sorted Insert
import bisect
scores = [60, 70, 80, 90]
bisect.insort(scores, 75)
# [60, 70, 75, 80, 90] — O(log n) search
bisect module maintains sorted lists efficiently. O(log n) search + O(n) insert beats O(n log n)...
