Dict Unpacking in Python

Did not know that such things could be accomplished by registering a new file coding format. Reminds me of https://pypi.org/project/goto-statement/

This one is arguably even more of a hack; it's working at the source code level rather than the AST level.

The "coding" here is a bytes-to-text encoding. The Python lexer expects to see character data; you get to insert arbitrary code to convert the bytes to characters (or just use existing schemes the implement standards like UTF-8).

I think there's a package to treat Jupyter notebooks as source code (so you can import them as modules).

While the OP package is obviously a joke, the one with notebooks is kind of useful. And, of course, obligatory quote about how languages that don't have meta-programming at the design level will reinvent it, but poorly.

You talking about this?
