I would like to invite numpy community to weigh in on the idea that is getting momentum at
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2014-February/025437.html The main motivation is to provide syntactic alternative to proliferation of default value options, so that x = getattr(u, 'answer', 42) can be written as x = y.answer except ... 42 For a dictionary d, x = d.get('answer', 42) can be written as x = d['answer'] except ... 42 For a list L, try: x = L[i] except IndexError: x= 42 can be written as x = L[i] except ... 42 The ellipsis in the above stands for syntax being debated. Effectively, Python is about to gain support for a new operator and operators are very precious for numpy. So, I think numpy community has a horse in that race.
