I'm wondering how your examples would go with from funcoperators import
infix (https://pypi.org/project/funcoperators/)
sum(1:6) # instead of sum(range(1, 6))
>
>
sum(1 /exclusive/ 6)
list(1:6)
>
>
list(1 /exclusive/ 6)
set(1 /exclusive/ 1)
Note that you can pick another name.
Note that you can pick another function :
@infix
def inclusive (a, b):
return range(a, b+1)
sum(1 /inclusive/ 6)
for i in (1:6):
>
> print(i**2)
>
>
for i in 1 /exclusive/ 6:
print(i**2)
(i**2 for i in (1:6))
>
>
(i ** 2 for i in 1 /exclusive/ 6)
It also makes forming reusable slices clearer and easier:
>
> my_slice = (:6:2) # instead of slice(None, 6, 2)
> my_list[my_slice]
>
>
I don't have exact equivalent here, I would create a function or explicitly
say slice(0, 6, 2)
This is similar to passing a range/slice object into the respective

As mentioned before {1:6} is a dict.
Here are a few more examples:

Everybody knows i in range(5).
> for i in (1:): # counts up from one for as long as you want, i.e. count(1)
>

Well, count(1) is nice and people can google it.
