I don't know if this has been suggested before, none of my searches returned anything. Sorry if it has been rejected already. Anyone who has used Python at least a little bit will know that you can use +=, -=, *=, and /= to apply a change to a variable and store it in the same variable in one step. (a = a + 1) == (a += 1) Would it be possible to add a fifth operator, .= (period-equals) to apply a method to a variable in one step? ex: >> a = "SPAM" >> a .= lower() >> a 'spam' It would make code look a lot better, and easier to write for any longer-named variables. I can see where passing a method of an object by itself would cause an error, but might it be possible for the .= to override this? |
