>> Why should ``all()`` special case ``range``? Apart from showing off >> benchmarks, what's the point? Mostly to avoid silly mistakes, and the overhead of doing it would be very small, so a very small trade-off. >> Should ``any()`` also special case it? No, ``any()``takes at most two iterations to check truthiness in a ``range()``, so that's wouldn't be needed. >> How about other lazy sequences and computed iterables, such as >> itertools.count objects, itertools.cycle objects, itertools.repeat objects, >> etc? How many special cases do we want? No, I wouldn't propose that. The argument would be that those are iterators/generators while ``range()`` is special-cased built-in sequence with known properties. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37131> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
