Description
Currently, several sections of the documentation contain code snippets that employ legacy Python 2 syntax or outdated usage patterns. To maintain the high quality of official resources, these should be modernized to align with current standards.
Motivation
Modernizing these examples prevents confusion for new learners and ensures the documentation reflects the idiomatic standards of Python 3.10+.
