Every Python idea that has ever been proposed "for the sake of completeness" has been rejected... at least in the 24 years I've been following such closely. Do you have an actual compelling use case? An abstract symmetry isn't going to do it. On Wed, Jul 5, 2023 at 6:17 AM <haael@interia.pl> wrote:
Python has the "star" ("*") operator for multiplication. In the context of collections it is supposed to mean element-wise multiplication. Its associated operator is __mul__. It also has the double star ("**") operator for exponentiation, which is repeated multiplication. Its associated operator is __exp__.
In addition to that Python has the "at" ("@") operator for multiplication. In the context of collections it should mean linear product, like matrix times a matrix, or matrix times vector. Its associated method is __matmul__.
For completeness we should now have the exponentiation operator meaning repeated application of the "at" operator. Its method could me __matexp__. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-leave@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/AS3F4V...
