Unravelling decorators
For the next post in my syntactic sugar series, I thought I would tackle decorators. Let's look at a simple example of a function that has a single decorator applied to it. @decorator
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 data structure displays
The title of this next post in my series on Python's syntactic sugar may seem odd: what's a "display" when it comes to data structures? It turns out that's the technical term for
Unravelling comprehensions
After failing to unravel generator expressions, in this post as part as my Python syntactic sugar post series I want to tackle comprehensions. Thanks to a change made in Python 3.0, recreating
(Not) unravelling generator expressions
In this post on Python's syntactic sugar, I want to try to tackle generator expressions. If you look at the language definition for generator expressions you will see that it says, "[a] generator
Unravelling the `async with` statement
I already covered unravelling the with statement, and async with is not much different. Much like with, the language reference for async with gives an example of the statement already destructured. Based on
