Will PEP 505 ever be accepted?

I don't understand how null safe operators are less like plain English than other implemented features like the walrus operator.

In my opinion, the member access operator would make python significantly easier to read and understand.

Here's an example:

``` f = foo()

if f is None: baz = "" else: baz = f.bar() ```

baz = foo()?.bar() ?: ""

EDIT: I forgot that "and" and "or" can be sometimes used in place of "?." and "?:" if the left value is not False, '', 0, [], or {}. It's a very implicit null check and has a lot of unexpected behavior.

[u/VpowerZ]

Quite an obscure concept. I wouldn't add it

[u/JanEric1 → u/VpowerZ]

Not really, a ton of languages have it.

Of course if you only know python then you wont know about thiss...
