Unravelling rich comparison operators
For the next part of my blog series on pulling apart Python's syntactic sugar
[https://snarky.ca/tag/syntactic-sugar/], I'm going to be tackling rich comparison
operators: ==, !=, >, <

Unravelling unary arithmetic operators
In this entire blog series on Python's syntactic sugar
[https://snarky.ca/tag/syntactic-sugar/], this might end up being the most boring
post. 😄 We will cover the unary arithmetic operators: -,

Prologue
This post is part of a series on Python's syntactic sugar. The latest source code can be found as part of the desugar project.

Python has something called augmented

I wonder how many people realize that Python has a lot of syntactic sugar
