Why? What's the benefit? It is slightly shorter, but no more clear than range. I would never guess that `1 -> 100` would mean a range object. I would think it was a transformation of 1 -> 100. In e.g. Ruby the equivalent of range has syntax 1...100, which matches how we write ranges of values in English. If we had an arrow operator beyond the typing proposal, I think it would be a terrible wasted opportunity to use it for something as unclear and trivial as a range object :-( -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/L6XT3PVYSUKTA6PZDPKLGATXA32NT5AB/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
