Ugh, so much duplication! We can totally do better than that.
ngettext(*(lambda x,s: (x,x+'s',s))("You have scored %d point",score))
Much better!
Incidentally, in creating the above abomination, I found that I can't do this:
>>> print(*(lambda x: (x,x+'s'))("You have scored %d point"),score)
SyntaxError: only named arguments may follow *expression
But I can do this:
>>> print(score,*(lambda x: (x,x+'s'))("You have scored %d point"))
1 You have scored %d point You have scored %d points
Why is tuple unpacking limited to the last argument? Is it just for
the parallel with the function definition, where anything following it
is keyword-only?
