Express a method like a keyword

Question

How can I express a method (e.g. dir(os)) like a keyword (e.g. dir_ os)? Is it even possible?

The opposite is quite easy to achieve:

# `assert` expressed like a method
def assert_(x): assert x
assert_(1 == 1)

You can't add custom keywords without modifying the language itself. — timgeb, Sep 02 '18 at 20:04

No, it's not possible. Parentheses are required in order to call a function or method.

I think that is different between python versions. – Selman Genç Sep 02 '18 at 20:01

@SelmanGenç Only for `print()` and `exec()` which have been converted to functions in Python 3. – Niklas R Sep 02 '18 at 20:10
