Probably because exploiting Python abstraction facilities to build DSLs has/had long been frown upon in this community? That was the leitmotiv back when people were marvelling over Ruby's flexibility in the area.
As far as I remember, what was frowned on was adding weird and wonderful syntax (e.g. function calls without parens) to Python purely because "it might be useful for DSLs". There's nothing wrong with using existing features to build DSLs (although people might look askance at you if you use them in particularly obscure ways). -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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/KOCMS4LITKXLEHPJ5VVFN673BRCZUIGI/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
