Functional pipes in python like %>% from R's magritrr

Question

In R (thanks to magritrr) you can now perform operations with a more functional piping syntax via %>%. This means that instead of coding this: <

Answer 1

Adding my 2c. I personally use package fn for functional style programming. Your example translates into

from fn import F, _
from math import sqrt

(F(sqrt) >> _**2 >> str)(12)

F is a wrapper class with functional-style syntactic sugar for partial application and composition. _ is a Scala-style constructor for anonymous functions (similar to Python's lambda); it represents a variable, hence you can combine several _ objects in one expression to get a function with more arguments (e.g. _ + _ is equivalent to lambda a, b: a + b). F(sqrt) >> _**2 >> str results in a Callable object that can be used as many times as you want.
