 * (Python) DaskRunner now preserves outputs emitted by `DoFn.finish_bundle()` instead of silently dropping them ([#40519](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/40519)).
 * (Python) BigQuery streaming inserts now reset the retry budget and backoff for each batch instead of sharing them across a bundle ([#39995](https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/39995)).
 * (Python) State write failures reported by portable runners now fail the bundle instead of silently losing state updates ([#39992](https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/39992)).
+* (Python) The result of `beam.Partition` applied to a list, such as `[1, 2, 3] | beam.Partition(fn, 2)`, can now be indexed with ints (`partitions[0]`) as inside a pipeline, instead of raising `KeyError` ([#19154](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/19154)).
 * (Go) Fixed a data race on the Prism runner's artifact cache map in JobServices ([#32656](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/32656)).
 * (Go) Fixed the harness leaking Data/State gRPC streams after the worker stops, and a deadlock when Send returns EOF ([#40260](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/40260)).
 * (Go) Wrap last dataWriter/timerWriter send errors on Close ([#40405](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/40405)).
