The consensus here seems to be that Python is missing a pipe operator. That was one of the things I quickly learned to appreciate when transitioning from Mathematica to R. It makes writing data science code, where the data are transformed by a series of different steps, so much more readable and intuitive.

I know that Python is used for many more things than just data science, so I'd love to hear if in these other contexts, a pipe would also make sense. Just trying to understand why the pipe hasn't made it into Python already.
