Is it a good idea to have a syntax sugar to function composition in Python?

Question

Some time ago I looked over Haskell docs and found it\'s functional composition operator really nice. So I\'ve implemented this tiny decorator:

from functools im

You can do it with reduce, although the order of calls is left-to-right only:

def f1(a):
    return a+1

def f2(a):
    return a+10

def f3(a):
    return a+100

def call(a,f):
    return f(a)


reduce(call, (f1, f2, f3), 5)
# 5 -> f1 -> f2 -> f3 -> 116
reduce(call, ((lambda x: x+3), abs), 2)
# 5
