12:56: When you need to sort a list by a specific key in each list-item’s object, you use a lambda function to drill down to your key.¹

example = [
	("event": "A walk in the woods", "date": datetime_object_1),
	("event": "Grocery Shopping", "date": datetime_object_2),
	("event": "Movie Night")
]

example.sort(key=lambda example: example["date"])

21:55: For when you develop a Python script on one machine, then place it for running on another, but you didn’t generate a requirements.txt file - pipreqs¹ will interrogate the import statements in all python files in the directory you specify and generate a requirements.txt file based on those import statements. Then you can pip install -r requirements.txt to make sure all your script’s requirements are met. Boom.
