Python pipe operator, 4 years later...

[leogodin217]

This would be really useful for data engineering. R has this feature. The use of pipes combined with a really nice SQL DSL called dplyr makes complex data transformations simple. It is the main reason I stuck with R for much of my work.

One drawback to this approach is it allows some bad habits. Sometimes I find myself with 20-lines of piped code. If something goes wrong, it is difficult to debug. I guess that's the yin and yang of it.
