I don't know whether that should be provocating or beside the poinnt. It's probably both. You're putting two expectations on the same example: first, you make the reasonable expectation that results in [(100, 1, 'a'), (100, 2, 'b')], and then you ask whether anyone expected [100, 1, 'a', 100, 2, 'b'], but don't add or remove anything from the same example. Did you forget to put a second example using the new notation in there? Then you'd have to spell it out and start out with [*(100, *t) for t in iterable]. And then you can ask who expected [100, 1, 'a', 100, 2, 'b']. Which is what this thread is all about. cheers! mar77i _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
