PEP 3000 says (http://www.python.org/peps/pep-3000.html) :
Core language - Return iterators instead of lists where appropriate for atomic type methods (e.g. dict.keys(), dict.values(), dict.items(), etc.) Built-in Namespace - Make built-ins return an iterator where appropriate (e.g. range(), zip(), etc.) - Relevant functions should consume iterators (e.g. min(), max()) To be removed: - xrange(): use range() instead [1] Any possibility to add one (or more) __future__ statement to implicitly get this behavior? Any suggestion about naming? -- Lisandro Dalcín --------------- Centro Internacional de Métodos Computacionales en Ingeniería (CIMEC) Instituto de Desarrollo Tecnológico para la Industria Química (INTEC) Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) PTLC - Güemes 3450, (3000) Santa Fe, Argentina Tel/Fax: +54-(0)342-451.1594 _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
