So, in a URL like:

```
https://example.com/items/foo
```

...the path would be:

```
/items/foo
```

/// info

A "path" is also commonly called an "endpoint" or a "route".

///

While building an API, the "path" is the main way to separate "concerns" and "resources".

#### Operation

"Operation" here refers to one of the HTTP "methods".

# Python Types Intro

Python has support for optional "type hints" (also called "type annotations").

These **"type hints"** or annotations are a special syntax that allow declaring the <abbr title="for example: str, int, float, bool">type</abbr> of a variable.

By declaring types for your variables, editors and tools can give you better support.

		// in the beginning of erasure set healing
		if err := bgSeq.healBucket(objAPI, bucket, true); err != nil {
			// Set this such that when we return this function
			// we let the caller retry this disk again for the
			// buckets that failed healing.
			retErr = err
			healingLogIf(ctx, err)
			continue
		}

		var (
			vc   *versioning.Versioning
			lc   *lifecycle.Lifecycle

		StartTime:     h.startTime,
	})
	if err != nil {
		bugLogIf(h.ctx, err)
		return nil, toAdminAPIErr(h.ctx, err), ""
	}
	return b, noError, ""
}

// PopHealStatusJSON - Called by heal-status API. It fetches the heal
// status results from global state and returns its JSON
// representation. The clientToken helps ensure there aren't

            By default, after a dependency is called the first time in a request, if
            the dependency is declared again for the rest of the request (for example
            if the dependency is needed by several dependencies), the value will be

```Python
if not (credentials.username == "stanleyjobson") or not (credentials.password == "swordfish"):
    # Return some error
    ...

But by using the `secrets.compare_digest()` it will be secure against a type of attacks called "timing attacks".

### Timing Attacks

But what's a "timing attack"?

Let's imagine some attackers are trying to guess the username and password.

-   In such situations, we may request you to make further changes to your PR
    for the tests to pass.
-   Once the tests pass, we now bring all the code into the internal code base,
    using a job called "copybara".

**5. Copy to Google Internal codebase and run internal CI**

-   Once the PR is in the Google codebase, we make sure it integrates well with
    its dependencies and the rest of the system.
