I think this is the Perliest Python I've ever written. :-D

I'm just going to thumbs you up and walk away slowly...

Err... thank you, I guess. :-D

This goes against everything you've been teaching in the code review, but IT IS B.A.D. Hands down to you veky. The lambda t function is very nice, I have to write a dictionary to solve it and it is actually quite clear. But the `import` really gets to me, that's how Python does it in the lower level?! I am sure glad that I clicked into this answer. for the functional part, man, they are hard to read. I am studying functional programming, and I always wonder why we sacrifice readability for one-liner? Sometimes I just failed to see the beauty in this. I mean, if this is the future then programming probably isn't for the faint-hearted.

Yes, I'm proud of `t` too. :-] `import` is just a tiny part in the <a href="https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/importlib.html">overall picture</a>. But if you want an expression instead of statement, you can do it that way. You should know that functional programming has nothing to do with one-liners, and even less with sacrificing readability. Haskell is <a href="https://lotz84.github.io/haskellbyexample/ex/methods">extremely readable</a> when written professionally, and its readable programs are usually more than one line long. Writing Python programs in functional style is usually sacrificing readability, but that's simply because you're going against the language design. You'd get the same effect by writing Haskell in imperative style. :-)

any particular reason t was declared as part of the function parameters or is it just to show that it can be done that way as well?

One line shorter. Plus the title is significant. :-D

Outch, this one is particularly not immediate to understand ... I agree with @Paul-Yuchao-Dong, right here, you are far from things you are usually teaching ^^ (but it is true this solution is under 'Creative' category). And in addition, you used regex !!! Mouhahaha ! Anyway, thanks for this till interesting solution.

veky on Sept. 4, 2019, 7:55 a.m.
I used many abominations above. It seemed only fair that regexen be among them. :-P
