II: The Invocation of Metric Code

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

A Pythonic poem in (mostly) metric form.

.. tip::

    it matters not the form of thought,
    in verse or code, a mix of both,
    these words command with meaning fraught
    the rush of green through stalks of growth
    in ground of earth or problem sought,
    with meter found in solemn oath.

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...

        if not (with_mode in [ "act", "retain"]):
            return "what's left of last remain"

        if type(f'of {this}') == thy_art.a_ring:
            return my_heart.to_spring(
                myself_is = this, but = ("suffering")
            )

        # TODO: Alas! Another miss!
        raise smoke.abyss(with_only = this)

        pprint.pprint("renew, and don't dismiss!")
        this = set(escape(remiss))
