Simple chaining of operations (a.k.a. pipe operator) in python

There is no need for an elaborate module or fancy operator to do this.
It's a very simple function and looks perfectly clean to use. Here it is:

def chain( Accumulant, *Functions_list ):
    for f in Functions_list: Accumulant = f( Accumulant )
    return Accumulant

That's it! Feel free to place it in a module and import it if you really have to.

Example:

add      = lambda x: lambda y: x + y
addlist  = lambda x: lambda l: [ add(x)(i) for i in l]
list2chr = lambda l: [ chr(i) for i in l ]
joinstr  = lambda j: lambda s: j.join(s)

L = [4,1,8,8,11,-68,19,11,14,8,0,-67]

chain( L
       , addlist(100)
       , list2chr
       , joinstr("")
       , str.lower
       , str.split   )

# outputs: ['hello', 'world!']
