Last month, we released a new way to quickly review pull requests by listing the changed functions or methods in the pull request file finder. Now Python enthusiasts can quickly identify changed functions in their pull requests, too.

Searching the file finder for the term function or the name of a changed function in a Python file will provide you with a timeline-style view of the results, so you can easily identify and view the most impactful parts of a pull request. Check out the documentation to learn more.
We hope this helps make more of the review process for the Python community more efficient. Let us know if you have any feedback—or if there are other search functions you’d find useful using our help form.
