Hi, sorry if this came up before, but I tried searching the archives and found nothing. It would be really nice if new builtin truth functions in 2.5 took a predicate argument(defaults to bool), so one could write, for example:
seq = [1,2,3,4,5] if any(seq, lambda x: x==5): ... which is clearly more readable than reduce(seq, lambda x,y: x or y==5, False) IIRC, something like that is called junctions in Perl 6. _______________________________________________ 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
