+# pretty print to a file
+
+I was in the Python debugger today and I was wondering how to write a sorted dictionary to a file while there. 💪
+
+And then I learned that pprint's `PrettyPrinter` can stream to a file, nice! 😎
+
+Here is how:
+
+```
+import pprint
+
+# sort by numeric value descending (here: most listened podcast episodes)
+sorted_stats = sorted(stats.items(), key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
+
+# pretty print the dict to a text file
+with open('sorted_stats.txt', 'w') as file:
+    pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(stream=file, indent=4)
+    pp.pprint(sorted_stats)
+```
+
+#pprint

+# using requests head
+
+Need to check if a resource exists? 💡
+
+Use requests.head() instead of requests.get() for a faster response! 🏃
+
+It only fetches the headers, saving time and bandwidth. 🕒
+
+I used it the other day to quickly check if a transcript was added to a podcast episode. 😎
+
+```
+import requests

+url = "https://www.buzzsprout.com/1501156/15129871/transcript"
+response = requests.head(url)
