As the patch works right now, any iterator will be exhausted, but if the proposal is constrained to only allowing the *name at the end, wouldn't a more useful behavior be to not exhaust the iterator, making it similar to: > it = iter(range(10)) > a = next(it) > b = it or would this be too surprising? //Simon _______________________________________________ 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
