Python - Collection of Ideas 'Code Structures'

How do u make the code:

• Readable to Humans?

• Easy to change?

I want to focus in the “Easy to Change” part as i think is the most complicated topic, the readable part come after that.

Easy to change

The idea that’s bugging me for a lot is code with options. Description:

1. Make a simple code which other code refers to and can add to or change.
2. Write options or other functions that adds to your code.
3. These options have to be added to your code via a function or method, so i know whats happening.

~Ex.:

Let’s say you created a function that does some calculation in a for-loop and adds to a value tot at each iteration of the for-loop, normally i get in output of the function just the tot at the end, without actively changing the function how can i get in return all the value tot assumed during the function call.

Can i create “an option”, some other code that can refer to the function and return what i asked for.

One idea i had is the Code Anchors, but i dont like the flavor.

• Practically, you can add line of codes like labels that you can attach functions to: code_anchor INITIALIZATION.
• If developed further you can automate the label structure, creating some automatic ones like: INITIALIZATION, FOR_LOOP_1, FOR_LOOP_2, WHILE_LOOP_1, and so on.
• I would like to introduce 3 new python keywords: code_anchor, add_code_to and at, where at can be used only in add_code_to block.
• Then using Sublime Text as IDE I would like to create a phantom every time i create a add_code_to block under that a grey-code of the function or class it refers to, where the code_anchor keyword is replaced by the at keyword.

Idea: Create a normal function, then pass it to a function or class add_options_to_function(func, **options), to add options
