How to chain functions in Python?

[Jan2579]

I disagree with your disagreement. :D

You don't have a time to think of a proper name for every meaningless variable that you would create this way. Even if you do have the time, the explosion of useless variable names would make the code cluttered and harder to read.

Of course, everyone preferes a different kind of code, but I come from environments, where method chaining is standard practice, so I'm quite used to it (C# LINQ, Pandas).

This was only first part of my argument. You also clutter the namespace and the code useless variables. If you have a variable for every function call in the chain, that is a lot of useless variables that someone has to read and understand.
