Category: Core (C code) Group: Python 3000 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Rejected Priority: 1 Submitted By: Guido van Rossum (gvanrossum) Assigned to: Guido van Rossum (gvanrossum) Summary: Forbid iteration over strings Initial Comment: This was proposed on the list. It turned out to be easy to implement the basic feature (iter() only calls __iter__ and doesn't fall back on __getitem__) but a disaster to use -- even after extensive fixes to the sre compiler and smaller fixes to half a dozen other modules, 120 tests were failing. I'm saving the diffs here for posterity. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-04-30 08:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Marking as Rejected as this was included in PEP 3099. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1471291&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
