I’ve been getting back into Python lately… I just wrote a small module that provides support for pointfree style programming with a combination of automatic partial function/method application and operator overloading for function composition:
from pointfree import *
from operator import add
fn = pfmap(len) \
>> pfmap(lambda n: n**2) \
>> pfreduce(add, initial=0)
fn(["foo", "barr", "bazzz"]) # == 50
See the overview for a lengthier introduction. You can install the pointfree module from the Python Package Index:
$ pip install pointfree
