    No syntactical doubts, only semantical doubts:

    So method chaining might not always satisfied the
    same expectations about being a more "functional" approach.

    Guido von Rossum suggest to not always use method chaining:

    In some scenarios it makes sense to allow chaining.
    For instance when building the answer to a query where the parts to be included depend on circumstances. As in x.a().b().e().g();

    In other scenarios it just makes things confusing for anyone reading the
    code, including the writer.

    In other words it depends on design judgement, something that disturbs
    people who prefer a 300 page book of rules.
