Re: why brackets & commas in func calls can't be ommited? (maybe it couldbe PEP?)

I have nothing against brackets, and I think Python has used them for too much time to allow a so big change in its syntax. But I think in some situations Ruby allows to omit them, solving some of the "impossibile" problems shown in this thread. This makes Ruby a bit better than Python to create ap

Re: flattening/rolling up/aggregating a large sorted text file

Apparently you want to use this data to know how many blue circles, blue squares, red circles and red squares. In other words, I doubt you want to output redundant data columns, you just want this data in a more usable format and that you don't actually need to do multiple passes over it. Th

Re: why brackets & commas in func calls can't be ommited? (maybe it couldbe PEP?)

You asked two questions; the first others have asked also. Mathematicians sometimes use brackets to indicate function application and sometimes just juxtaposition. When they do the latter and when there are things other than functions (to exclude pure lambda calculus), then there are usually (
