The Invocation of Metric Code

"""
The Invocation of Metric Code
=============================

A Pythonic poem in (mostly) metric form.

Hacks until the devs publish a fix:

- "()", "[]", ".", ":", "_",  "=" and "==" don't contribute!
- Comments are part of the poem! Except this one!
- "pprint" = "puh-PRINT"

"""
# at first, this helpful little shape
from re import escape
# and then some help for those who squint
import pprint # that alters tint
# at last, these ready words are spoke
import invoke # to pry and poke
import my_heart # but tender hold
import provoke as smoke
import thy_art # to break the mold

def use(this="thought", with_mode="exhaust"):
    """
    Where dreams become though some are lost...

    try: # hope, but keep your fingers crossed...
