> What are the best practices to create more Functional Python?
> What are your thoughts on Functional in Python?
> Currently I am re-writing functions to reduce their side effects.
> I am also removing the state from objects and putting it into a closure
> type function.
> However with callback based systems (GUI) this seemed impossible, so
> instead I am abusing a coroutine to maintain the state of the application.
> But is it abuse or does it seem like a good way to handle the callback

> state are confined to a single location, which is nice.
> What do you think about using a coroutine to handle state, how would you
> do it better in a callback based system.
> Thank you for your insights.
