Not OP, but author. Line continuation is pretty annoying. Adding custom methods wouldn't be hard (https://github.com/EntilZha/PyFunctional/issues/113), I just don't have time right now to add it.

With respect to _, this would make these two equivalent: a = lambda x: x + 1 b = _ + 1 a(1) == b(1)

Is there an expanded example I could look at for the pipe stuff, I haven't used clojure before
