Hello, Was it considered to drop the parentheses after "dict.keys()", to make it "dict.keys" (that is, to make it a property instead of a method with no arguments)? If it was, please forgive me - a few minutes of googling didn't find it.
I now write (another?) ordered dict, and I thought that the easiest way to get the key with a given index would be "d.keys[5]". But it means that d.keys is a collection of keys, not a method - and why not? If backwards compatibility is a problem, we can make d.keys return the same object that d.keys() currently returns, and add to the dict_keys object a calling operation which raises a warning and returns itself. Of course, d.values and d.items are the same. Have a good day, Noam _______________________________________________ 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
