Excuse me, but extraordinarily I agree with D'Aprano :D Usually if you want the first element of an iterable, you have just to do:
``` it = iter(iterable) first = next(it) ``` Yes, `first()` is really sexy... but a simple question: where is the iterator? With the code above, I can continue to use the iterable to access the rest of the iterable. `first()` creates an iterator, uses it and throw it away. What a waste! Greta Thunberg is very angry with you all :D So 200 posts for one line less? I really don't catch the point. _______________________________________________ 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/X3SGPDEFJHKSNYXIW66AWJOW3PAKCOGQ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
