Brett Cannon    For the second to last post in my syntactic sugar series the final post will be a summary conclusion post I am tackling what I expect is my largest and most complicated the class statement although I m too lazy to check if that statement is true x F Lucky for me

Brett Cannon    is the Ellipsis singleton Shortest syntactic sugar blog post I have written x F

Brett Cannon    In this post of my syntactic sugar series I want to tackle literals Now some literals don t really require any code changes and are really just an alternative way to write the same thing no call of code required e g writing integers in hexadecimal format versus in

Brett Cannon    For the next post in my syntactic sugar series I want to cover subscriptions It s quite possible you re not familiar with this formal term but you are probably familiar with the syntax the square brackets used for indexing lists and tuples sequence accessing the value

Brett Cannon    As part of my series on Python s syntax I want to tackle the from clause for raise statements In case you re unfamiliar raise A from B causes B to be assigned to A cause which lets chained tracebacks exist as well as context but that

Brett Cannon    In the last post of my syntactic sugar series I showed how you can get away with not having elif and else clauses on an if statement It turns out you can use the same trick to help get rid of else clauses on try statements And then there

Brett Cannon    While I won t be attempting to unravel if statements entirely as part of my blog series on Python s syntactic sugar I will be attempting to partially unravel them by showing how you don t need elif and else clauses Unravelling elseLet s start

Brett Cannon    I have previously unravelled for loops and so the concept of looping has already come up in this blog post series of removing the syntactic sugar from Python But one aspect of looping that I didn t touch upon is that of break and continue Both are statements used

Brett Cannon    I occasionally hear people lament that Python is bloated too big going enterprise or some other phrasing to suggest there was once an ideal version of Python that had less bloat and was closer to what the person wanted But then this

Brett Cannon    For the next post in my syntactic sugar series I thought I would tackle decorators Let s look at a simple example of a function that has a single decorator applied to it decorator def func Decorator exampleIf you re familiar with decorators then your mental model

Brett Cannon    The title of this next post in my series on Python s syntactic sugar may seem odd what s a display when it comes to data structures It turns out that s the technical term for what most folks would consider the literal form of

Brett Cannon    After failing to unravel generator expressions in this post as part as my Python syntactic sugar post series I want to tackle comprehensions Thanks to a change made in Python recreating comprehensions using generator expressions is straightforward since comprehensions do not leak their loop

Brett Cannon    In this post on Python s syntactic sugar I want to try to tackle generator expressions If you look at the language definition for generator expressions you will see that it says a generator expression yields a new generator object for what is specified which is essentially

Brett Cannon    I already covered unravelling the with statement and async with is not much different Much like with the language reference for async with gives an example of the statement already destructured Based on that and the fact that async with is just with with asynchronous versions of enter and
