"It's a pattern." "All useful languages have monads ... nearly impossible to avoid." So here's a post on Python (hopefully useful) and monads, it appears to be implementing a pattern, although I don't think I would have ever stumbled across it naturally. http://www.valuedlessons.com/2008/01/monads-in-python-with-nice-syntax.html http://www.valuedlessons.com/2008/01/monads-in-python-with-n... And here's a library implementing monads and other stuff: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyMonad/ https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyMonad/ It still looks like I'm going to have to try using them before I can figure out if it's worth trying to use them.
