Here are some alternate syntaxes. These are all equivalent to len(print(list)).
(len | print)(list) (len |> print)(list) (print <| len)(list) print <| len << list list >> print <| len list >> len |> print ## Traditional argument order print <| len << list ## Stored functions print_lengths = len | print print_lengths = len |> print print_lengths = print <| len These can be called using callable syntax. These can be called using << syntax. These can be called using >> syntax. ## Lightweight traditional syntax order (print | len)() # Explanation The pipeline operator (|, |>, <|) create an object. That object implements, depending on the chosen implementation, some combination of the __call__ operator, the __rshift__ operator, and/or the __lshift__ operator. — I am not proposing Python has all these operators at the same time, just putting these ideas out there for discussion. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
