I agree. For me, the bottom line and the main argument for dropping the proposal is "itertools is not as big as you think it is to introduce a builtin rich-iterator object". It might be a bad analogy for some, but it reminds me of the "why have a path object, os.path.* is fine" reactions a while back [1]. All other arguments can be rebutted. Perhaps when we start seeing more "from itertools import ..." all over the place, we can reopen it. For now let's leave this thread R.I.P. George [1] I haven't followed the recent path and mini path object discussions to know if things have changed since then. One thing I know though is that Jason's path module has practically replaced os.* and glob.* in my code. _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
