def piss(): pass

substitute accordingly 🤙

Now that I think about it, you can just write piss and it counts as writing a variable but not assigning it 🙃 (after having assigned piss at the beginning of the code!)

So you're saying we just have to piss at the very beginning of the code?

[-] egeres@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I bet this was in the original draft of the PEP-8 hahah

def piss(): pass; piss = piss()

Here you go.

[-] egeres@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

But actually, You can just replace that line with piss = None, assigning piss = piss() does not invoke the former method when writing the new variable "standalone"

You can use the C preprocessor on any source code.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Or m4 if you are into it.

M4 + python would make for a great combo.

But...

What is more pythonic than semantic whitespace?

[-] muzzle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Preprocessing source code is an awful idea and I wish it never became widespread.

I used to hate semantic whitespace, but I came around when I was using it anyway.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Oh bummer... I was so glad believing somebody understood the m4 joke.

Text preprocessors for code are awful. But the m4 + python combo is so full of landmines that I'm wondering if I should try it.

I can only defend myself with the good old "it is impossible to write a Y̶o̶u̶T̶u̶b̶e̶ Lemmy comment stupid enough that everyone will realise it is ment to be sarcastic"

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I would say that one should expect a high probability of comments on "Programmer Humor" being sarcastic. But deep down I know you are right.
