I understand how you feel. I found function composition to be quite difficult to grasp at first too. What helped me grok the matter were type signatures. Consider: (*) :: Num x => x -> x -> x (+) :: Num y => y -> y -> y (.) :: (b -> c) -> (a -> b) -> a -> c Now when you write (*) . (+) it is a...

It's a question about procedures of accessing some API, and the procedure happens to hinge on sending email or whatnot.

@Doorknob冰 "keeping the dependencies a minimum" is a dangerous attitude in Python. You risk ending up with the kind of crap that still happens in PHP a lot: Re-inventing the wheel just because you don't want to use someone else's code. I mean I totally agree that you don't want some dependencies (like asciitable which now pulls in astropy which depends on numpy just for rendering ascii-art tables on the shell. wtf.) but for cheap/simple stuff: who cares.
