if you are inventing a new way to do existing things outside the idioms of the language there is no conceivable way you can claim to be pythonic.

you are replacing the pythonic style with your own taste.

don't confuse the two.

I'm not sure why you created a fake account to answer this but thanks again for your time. You're right that it was built for my own taste using simultaneously other languages (clojure, arc and js for instance). At the end of the day, what's important is that it increases the quality of the code and this is my goal with Moka. This is still in an alpha stage, but I'll definitely tweak it based on good feedback (Like yours) Feel free to drop me a line: phzbox at gmail if you want to continue this discussion.

It's totally legitimate for you to write this according to your own taste and use it. I don't think it's bad for Python, or anything like that. You are not an idiot and I am sure you can write interesting and useful programs in Python.

But I do agree that it is not 'Pythonic' - except maybe in the trivial sense that it's written in Python.

I would be happy to go into more detail if you really want it.

I'm not sure why you accuse me of having a fake account?

Re-inventing a uniform syntax for python is the least pythonic thing you can do.
