New Refactorings

Replace dict.get(x, None) with dict.get(x)

Before:

hats = {"bowler": Bowler(), "sombrero": Sombrero()}
fedora = hats.get("fedora", None)

After:

hats = {"bowler": Bowler(), "sombrero": Sombrero()}
fedora = hats.get("fedora")

Explanation:

When using a dictionary's get method you can specify a default to return if the key is not found. This defaults to None, so it is unnecessary to specify None if this is the required behaviour. Removing the unnecessary argument makes the code slightly shorter and clearer.

Remove unit step from range

Sourcery refactoring id: remove-unit-step-from-range

Description:

Replace range(x, y, 1) with range(x, y)

Before:

for i in range(y, len(x), 1):
    do_t()

After:

for i in range(y, len(x)):
    do_t()

Explanation:

The default step value for a call to range() is 1, so it is unnecessary to explicitly define it. This refactoring removes this argument, slightly shortening the code.
