A while ago, we had this gem: 2018-04-06 8:19 GMT+02:00 Serhiy Storchaka <storch...@gmail.com>: > Using currently supported syntax: > > smooth_signal = [average for average in [0] for x in signal for average > in [(1-decay)*average + decay*x]]
Go ahead and understand that line in 1 go. It's currently legal syntax for a running average for a smoothing signal, which remembers something about it. (Subject: Proposal: A Reduce-Map Comprehension and a "last" builtin) You're not allowed to work it out bit by bit, just understand the entire line or nothing. Any failure of yours proves my point. > [João] > How do you read something like " while (cmd := get_command()).token != > CMD_QUIT:" in plain english? while open-paren cee em dee colon is call get-underscore-command close-paren dot token doesn't equal all-caps cee em dee underscore quit colon. Might be some dutch in there. But far more importantly, I can hold the concept into my head, or just the parts of it that I need. How we call it in english is actually not a good argument - whether we can easily mentally parse it is, since I tend not to code by voice command, but with a keyboard. Your mileage may vary, but I think we should optimize for keyboard coding over voice chat coding. And when I need to refer to it, I say "this bit here" or I copy paste it. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
