Sorry Samuel, but this would be a performance degradation. The reason is that the algorithm of str.join makes two passes over the input, so it runs faster when the input is already a list; otherwise, it would have to do the additional work of creating a list. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42699> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
