# Improvements to Python analysis
## General improvements
## General improvements
> Changes that affect alerts in many files or from many queries
> For example, changes to file classification
The extractor now parses all Python code from a single unified grammar. This means that almost all Python code will be successfully parsed, even if mutually incompatible Python code is present in the same project. This also means that Python code for any version can be correctly parsed on a worker running any other supported version of Python. For example, Python 3.7 code is parsed correctly, even if the installed version of Python is only 3.5.
The constants `MULTILINE` and `VERBOSE` in `re` module, are now understood for Python 3.6 and upward.
Removes false positives seen when using Python 3.6, but not when using earlier versions.

* The API for accessing builtin functions has been improved. Predicates of the form `theXXXFunction()`, such as `theLenFunction()`, have been deprecated in favour of `Object::builtin(name)`.
* A configuration based API has been added for writing data flow and taint tracking queries. This is provided as a convenience for query authors who have written data flow or taint tracking queries for other languages, so they can use a similar format of query across multiple languages.
