Even though they have refactored pyparsing out of packaging, I'm proud of its prior inclusion in this core Python component.

Add `time.sleep((366 if (year % 4 == 0 and year % 100 != 0) or (year % 400 == 0) else 365)*24*60*60)` to your loop, and you can just leave it running (barring future leap seconds).

The TINY interpreter was written with AI assistance (Junie in PyCharm), using the AI-targeted best practices that ship with this release of pyparsing. The interpreter examples include a transcript of the AI session, including prompts and the corresponding AI plans and actions taken.

With the upcoming release of #pyparsing 3.3.0, this code would emit DeprecationWarnings: nestedExpr is deprecated in favor of nested_expr, and parseString in favor of parse_string. A conversion utility ships with pyparsing to auto-update all of these pre-PEP8 names to PEP-8 compliant snake case.

`operator.attrgetter("first")` and `operator.attrgetter("last")` would work here too. `attrgetter` can also drill down into the structure of an object, like `operator.attrgetter("address.postal_code")`. Best of all, attrgetter runs at C speed, when lambdas are the Pokey Little Puppy of Python.

I pushed out version 3.3.0a1 late yesterday, so that folks with existing apps can upgrade their code from the deprecated pre-PEP8 API, or to try out the AI instructions to generate a new parser app. There is a discussion link here: github.com/pyparsing/py...
Pyparsing 3.3.0a1 · pyparsing pyparsing · Discussion #620
Supports Python 3.14 and free-threaded 3.14t. (Note: this does not mean that pyparsing is thread-safe, simply that pyparsing can safely run using the free-threaded build of Python.) The version 3.3...

Oh, and you can type hint the hh variable as:

Here is a Heapq class wrapper around those heapq functions, if you really want to en-class-ify them.
