Personally I never find it natural to iterate over strings, because it makes me think "this is going to be horrendously inefficient", and I go looking for some way of doing what I want en mass, using the existing string methods, or regular expressions, or something. That's why I didn't think it would have all that much effect on real-life code. But maybe others aren't so averse to string-iterating as I am. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
