#Python decorators blueprint: a step by step explanation of the full decorator anatomy.
Steal this for when you're writing your own decorators.
What's your favourite vanilla #Python feature?
(Abuses of the Python syntax are valid answers.)
RE: @mathsppblog@fosstodon.org
I know I only ask random nonsensical questions.
Came up with 4 random ways to do this.
2, I recommend you use them (although 1 doesn't work!)
The other 2 are really cool — they use fixed points and `itertools.groupby` — but they'll be overkill 99.9% of times.
How do you collapse runs of adjacent spaces in #Python ?
That is, shorter runs of 2+ consecutive spaces so there's only 1 space there?
I can't come up with a simple/straightforward way to do it with `str.join` and I'm surprised...
What am I missing?
RE: @mathsppblog@fosstodon.org
Let the record show that, while I managed to start a number of interesting but useless discussions, I WAS able to prove the “someone else” wrong.
So, thank you, everyone!

@yngvem @bmispelon yeah, exactly!
Using .split(" ") is closer, but then you also need to filter the empty strings, so something like
" ".join(filter(None, string.split(" ")))
is close...
But then, what if you had leading/trailing space? Then, it disappears! 😭
Replying to
@cazabon That gets rid of newlines and I didn't want that. I only want to collapse spaces.
I'm trying to reach out to @charliermarsh@hachyderm.io because of the upcoming EuroPython conference.
Do I know anyone here who can help me get to him?
Thanks 🙏
