Since when did utilizing a method to request a specific
value become some sort of magic?
Do you consider this to be magic?
os.lstdir('C:\\')
What about this?
''.join(map(chr, [109, 101, 97, 116, 32, 104, 101, 97, 100]))
Even though i prefer Python's way better, the implicit
return of Python function references is far more "magical"
than making an explicit call to a method will ever be.

Hmm, i suppose Python's constancy is overrated[1].
