If f and g are unary functions, f g 0 is evaluated as f(g(0))? Asking
because you didn't mention composition. That is, could we have `print
"hello", input "Name:"` instead of `print "hello", input("Name:")`?
Overall, I am against this because I like the "explicitness" of using

I've written my share of mathematical and physics software by now and
arbitrary-precision rational numbers are hardly ever a good solution to
problems you might be having. Paul Moore has mentioned how few keystrokes
this syntax would actually save: add to this the fact that there are
probably very
I disagree. Changing this in the PEP will make an absurd amount of code
which is PEP-8 compliant no longer so. Also, the refactoring may not always
be trivial as the lowercase names may already be in use.
I'd suggest violating PEP-8 instead of trying to change it.

If the discussion gets to which SHA-2 should be used, I would like to point
out that SHA-512 is not only twice the width of SHA-256 but also faster to
compute (anecdotally) on most 64-bit platforms.

Would this change actually help people who need to use FIPS?
Other than that this change would only decrease the already very small
probability of a corrupted download hashing the same, which isn't a bad
thing.

Assume this does not offer the same performance as loading everything
into memory. But it isn't meant to do so, as if you need / can / want,
you could just shove it all into a list and use wh

It could be a special code path for reservoir sampling (I assume) for

Overall, I already find Python's exceptions quite readable, and your
suggestions propose some VERY long lines which would certainly wrap at a
terminal. Maybe this should be an optional feature.

Personally, I find this extremely intuitive since this kind of
