MVPy: Minimum Viable Python
Over 32 posts spanning well over 2 years, this is the final post in my blog series on Python's syntactic sugar. I had set out to find all of the Python 3.8
syntactic sugar
"In computer science, syntactic sugar is syntax within a programming language that is designed to make things easier to read or to express. It makes the language "sweeter" for human use: things can be expressed more clearly, more concisely, or in an alternative style that some may prefer."

Unravelling `del`
In my post on unravelling the global statement, I mentioned how after my PyCascades 2023 talk some people came up to me about a couple of pieces of Python syntax that I had
Unravelling `global`
While preparing my talk for PyCascades 2023 on this very blog post series of Python's syntactic sugar, I had an inkling that I could unravel the global statement. After talking to some folks
Unravelling `lambda` expressions
When I first wrote my series on Python's syntactic sugar, I left out lambda expressions as I knew I couldn't unravel them without unravelling assignment expressions. Luckily, I solved that problem, so now
Unravelling assignment expressions
As part of my series on Python's syntactic sugar, I initially skipped tackling assignment expressions because I made them more complicated than I needed to in my head. 😅 But there is some key
