You can abuse the '>>' notation in python for pipes (or you could use |, I suppose), but you'll have to deal with whitespace shenanigans. I'm also not entirely sure about the order of evaluation. And you'll need to do partial function application by hand if you want that (though it is possible to write a meta function for that). So one could write class Piped: def __init__(self, value): self.value = value def __or__(self, func): return Piped(func(self.value)) def __repr__(self): return f"Piped({self.value!r})" Piped('test') | str.upper | (lambda x: x.replace('T', 't')) | "prefix_".__add__ # => prefix_tESt but whether that is a good idea is a whole different matter.
