      Now that I think about it, you can just write piss and it counts as writing a variable but not assigning it 🙃 (after having assigned piss at the beginning of the code!)

      But actually, You can just replace that line with piss = None, assigning piss = piss() does not invoke the former method when writing the new variable “standalone”

            Preprocessing source code is an awful idea and I wish it never became widespread.

            I used to hate semantic whitespace, but I came around when I was using it anyway.

              Oh bummer… I was so glad believing somebody understood the m4 joke.

              Text preprocessors for code are awful. But the m4 + python combo is so full of landmines that I’m wondering if I should try it.

                I can only defend myself with the good old “it is impossible to write a Y̶o̶u̶T̶u̶b̶e̶ Lemmy comment stupid enough that everyone will realise it is ment to be sarcastic”

                  I would say that one should expect a high probability of comments on “Programmer Humor” being sarcastic. But deep down I know you are right.
