Is even more syntactic sugar really what Python really needs?

Yes, I need my fix!!!

my 2 cents:

I'm +1 on either the '.(name)' or '.[name]' syntax. I'm leaning more towards the parentheses though. I don't really buy into the argument that people will confuse it for a function call. That seems like more of an argument against the dot operator in general than the new syntax.

I'm -1 on the '->' syntax. It just doesn't look very clean to me.
