Odd indeed. My first reaction was: it is not needed because lists support slicing, but when I tried to construct a list.get() using slicing the best I could come up with was the following hack >>> def lget(l, i, v): return (l[i:] or [v])[0] ... >>> lget(range(10), 20, 200) 200 >>> lget(range(10), 5, 50) 5 Yet for some reason I never missed this functionality ... _______________________________________________ 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
