Switch statement

Ever miss the classic switch statement in Python?

from stupidity import switch

for case in switch('b'):
    if case('a'):
        print('this is not printed')
    if case('b'):
        print('this is printed')
    if case('c'):
        print('fallthrough is also supported')
        break
    if case('d'):
        print('this is not printed either')
    print('default value at bottom, but this is not reached')

Think if-statements are stupid? We've got you covered!

from stupidity import switch

for case in switch('b'):
    with case('a'):
        print('this is not printed')
    with case('b'):
        print('this is printed')
    with case('c'):
        print('fallthrough is also supported')
        break
    with case('d'):
        print('this is not printed either')
    print('default value at bottom, but this is not reached')

Think for-loops are stupid too? We can get rid of those as well:

from stupidity import switch

with switch('b') as case:
    with case('a'):
        print('this is not printed')
    with case('b'):
        print('this is printed')
    with case('c'):
        print('fallthrough is also supported')
        BREAK  # NOTE: We have to yell here
    with case('d'):
        print('this is not printed either')
    print('default value at bottom, but this is not reached')

Dealing with closure variables

Ever get annoyed at those pesky variables inside closures that are seemingly just outside your reach? Fear no more!

from stupidity import replace_closure_variables

def foo(): 
    x = 42 
    def f(): 
        return x 
    return f 

f = foo()
f()  # 42

replace_closure_variables(f, x=123)
f()  # 123

Braces

Everyone knows that importing braces from __future__ fails miserably:

from __future__ import braces
#   File "<stdin>", line 1
# SyntaxError: not a chance

Luckily, we provide a working implementation:

from stupidity import braces

x = 42;
if (x == 123): {
    print('nope')
}
elif (x == 42): {
    print('yep')
}
# prints 'yep'
