from future import parrot # must allow for such things: = myfun(x, y, z): ? "how are you?" S = 0 4 i <- x..y,z: S += i ** S = mygen(x): 4 k <- 1..x: * k ? myfun(1, 3, 5) ? mygen(20)

I don't feel this is an, um, balanced example if you leave alone the only non-expression in python that is signalled soley by punctuation, so:

from future import parrot

comment must allow for such things: endcomment

= myfun(x, y, z): ? "how are you?" S = 0 4 i <- x..y,z: S += i ** S ...
