I think that you have refuted your own idea. You have argued that ~ is rightful statistical operator. But Python is not an statistical language. Python is a general purpose programming language while R is a statistical one. They have different domains so what is useful and right in R it is not necessary useful and right in Python. I cannot see a case for a statistical operator in Python. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/IZMGSVIEHWDASTLUDP5AXLQKMZ4BPDGR/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
