Adding C-style for loops to Python for fun

   A long time ago I stumbled upon (and contributed to) https://github.com/delfick/nose-of-yeti. The most delightful bit of cursed Python I’ve seen!

3. blursed

   2 1 6 10.0 Python

   Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

   

   I did something similar to option 3 to make the default numeric "callable", since the dunder __call__ methods can't be overwritten for integer types. For example, in regular arithmetic notation, something like 6(7+8) could be read as 6*(7+8), but trying to do this in Python gives you `SyntaxWarning: 'int' object is not callable;`, since you're essentially trying to do a function call on the literal 6. The workaround was to use a custom codec to wrap all integer literals to give them the expected call behavior.

   This was inspired by a way less silly usecase, future f-strings, which added f-string support to older versions of Python in a similar way using codecs: https://github.com/asottile-archive/future-fstrings

5. lambdex

   4 4 81 2.4 Python

   Write complicated anonymous functions beyond lambdas in Python.

   

   I've attempted something more crazy -- to make Python support multi-line lambda expression [1].

   It's done with AST manipulation as well, but on a larger scale and completer functionalities.
