Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Indeed it's easy enough to call list() or set() on the result if you need it.
On the other hand, the problem with returning a dict view is that it makes the return type dependent on an implementation detail. Returning a simple iterator would be great, except that you can't as easily test it for emptiness. So perhaps two methods are needed: - a keys() method returning an iterator - a has_keys() method returning a boolean ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19172> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
