> What changed? It comes up almost every week that I teach a Python course. Eventually, I've come to see the light :-) Also, I worked though the steps and found an efficiency gain for new code with no detriment to existing code. Lastly, I used to worry a lot about join() also being defined for bytes() and bytearray(). But after working through the use cases, I can see that we get an even bigger win. People seem to have a hard time figuring out how to convert a single integer to a byte. The expression "bytes([x])" isn't at all intuitive; it doesn't look nice in a list comprehension, and is incomprehensible when used with map() and lambda. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43535> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
