#"Project" name: PyNQ
#IDEA:
#LINQ in C# is cool
#Python doesn't quite need it as it has generatior expressions, sum(), len(), sorted() and itertools.groupby()
#so let's just wrap a nice SQL-like interface over them in order to make them more familiar

#Problem: all these lambdas suck. Any better ways to do it?

#TODOS/QUESTIONS:
#1. is it a good idea?
#2. can it be made to not suck (do something with all those lambdas)?
#3. implement GroupBy()
