But it seems like a perfectly good and useful feature in its own right to me. Why force every sequence to implement its own __iter__ if there is a default one that does the same as what your custom one would have done anyway? An alternative would be to give object an __iter__ method containing the default implementation. But then you've lost all ability to test for potential iterability, since everything has an __iter__ whether it works or not. So +1 from me on keeping the status quo wrt __iter__ in Py3k. -- 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
