I had assumed that the performance of `for _ in iter` would be significantly better, since due to the overhead cost of creating and filling a double ended queue, which provides optimization for insertion at the beginning and end. Wouldn't a one directional iterator provide better performance and have a lower memory cost if there is no modification required? _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/RFT7CZTXFQVHXCS3RRKFAGOHQGOXK2JU/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
