I'm not asking for "support" i'm asking for syntax. The question is why the syntax of data processing in python is illegible, not "are things technically possible in python".

Commenters here are keen to say "but dont you know!" -- and, yes, I do.

To be fair the confusion of FP vs FP syntax is from your comment: "Perhaps if python would add more support for FP (rather than its present hostility)"

Python does FP fine and FP via an ugly library or via elegant inbuilt syntax is still FP. I get you want nicer syntax but it wasn't clear.

I dunno, write a PEP and see if it gets support. I hope you succeed!
