Now that I think about it, you can just write piss and it counts as writing a variable but not assigning it š (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?
I bet this was in the original draft of the PEP-8 hahah
def piss(): pass; piss = piss()
Here you go.
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"
Oh well.
You can use the C preprocessor on any source code.
Or m4 if you are into it.
M4 + python would make for a great combo.
Please don't.
But...
What is more pythonic than semantic whitespace?
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.
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 YĢ¶oĢ¶uĢ¶TĢ¶uĢ¶bĢ¶eĢ¶ Lemmy comment stupid enough that everyone will realise it is ment to be sarcastic"
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.
