New submission from Julian Berman: This has come up a number of times I'm aware, but no one has ever written a patch for it as far as a quick look uncovered.
So here's one (written by Thomas Wouters but with permission to submit). Submitting without tests and docs, but those are incoming when I get a moment. The justification here is mostly related to being able to call min/max on an iterable of unknown length when there's a sensible default (which is usually going to be None, but that's not the default for backwards compat obviously). ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 190426 nosy: Julian, twouters priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add a default argument to min & max type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18111> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
