Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Paul Boddie (pboddie) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Adding an index method to tuples Initial Comment: This is just a simple copy and paste from the list implementation - not exactly the most elegant solution, but perhaps a demonstration that technical limitations aren't the reason why the tuple doesn't have an index method. I suppose a common sequence function library would be best if such a feature were eventually deemed compelling. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Josiah Carlson (josiahcarlson) Date: 2007-04-09 09:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=341410 Originator: NO Adding an .index method to tuples suggests that a tuple is more or less an immutable list. This is not the case. Typically tuples are used to hold disparate pieces of information of different semantics and types, where as a list typically contains a list of a single type with identical meaning. For examples we merely need to look at the outputs of str.partition and str.split . Suggested close. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1696444&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
