Whereas I like the opposite: there is a clear syntactic distinction between “get the value of ‘foo.bar.baz’” versus “get the value returned when calling ‘foo.bar.baz’”. Having the same name sometimes refer to “get this as a value” and other times “call this as a function and get the return value” imposes a cognitive load on the reader, IMO an unnecessary one. -- \ “If this is your first visit to the USSR, you are welcome to | `\ it.” —hotel room, Moscow | _o__) | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
