Nick Coghlan added the comment: The sentinel form of next() is nice when there's a natural sentinel value, but needing to *create* a sentinel is generally a sign that the out-of-band exception is a better fit.
The function could likely do with some refactoring (e.g. breaking out some helper functions to make the logic easier to follow), but shifting from idiomatic code to non-idiomatic code isn't a good way of tackling that. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24474> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
