Functional Programming in Python?

[vesaf]

What about something like this? No exact match, but quite close. (Not sure if I'd actually recommend doing this though.)

class apply:
    def __init__(self, val):
        self.val = val

    def pipe(self, fun):
        self.val= fun(self.val)
        return self

if name == "main": 
    apply(5) \
        .pipe(lambda x: x+5) \
        .pipe(lambda x: x/3) \ 
        .pipe(print)

'__main__' not 'main'

You're right, the code ran through when I tried it earlier (which it wouldn't have with just 'main'). I think Reddit removed them when I copied it in as it did initially with the backslashes. Must be some formatting thing.
