Funtools

Funtools is a library that provides a set of functional programming tools in Python similar to the ones found in functional programming languages like Haskell, Lisp or Scheme. These tools can be used for filtering, mapping, reducing, and other common functional programming tasks.

Installation

Funtools can be installed using pip:

pip install funtools

Usage

Here is an example of how to use some of the tools provided by Funtools:

from funtools import *

# Square all the elements in the list
squares = map_(lambda x: x**2, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
print(squares)

# Filter only the even numbers in the list
evens = filter_(lambda x: x % 2 == 0, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
print(evens)

# Find the sum of all the elements in the list
sum_all = reduce_(lambda x, y: x + y, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
print(sum_all)

The output of this code would be:

[1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
[2, 4]
15

Conclusion

Funtools provides a set of functional programming tools that can be used in Python. These tools can be used for filtering, mapping, reducing, and other common functional programming tasks. Its syntax is similar to the ones used in Haskell or other functional programming languages, making it easy to use for developers with experience in these languages. With Funtools, Python developers can easily incorporate functional programming concepts into their codebase.
