gollark: How coltraniously excellent.
gollark: øøøø.
gollark: I'm sure you'd like me to think that you'd like us to think so.
gollark: Also use of most of this (https://github.com/satwikkansal/wtfpython) and the mildly exotic features like decorators.
gollark: If I were to enter this I may deliberately write my programs in the most stupid and ridiculous way possible (or at least I find it favorable to claim that now maybe), such as by, for example, using preprepared pickle streams for arbitrary code execution, doing everything in one line, horrible overuse of `exec`/`eval`, using that thing where python will execute code from a ZIP concatted onto an image, downloading data from pastebin or whatever, blatantly ignoring all available Python style guides, or mucking with the AST module and importlib to transform the code into other stuff.
