itertools is one of the most popular and well-known libraries in the stdlib. Saying that something is "less discoverable" in intertools compared to the builtins is a bit like saying that the Marvel superhero franchise is less well-known than the Star Wars franchise. Even if its objectively true, its a difference that makes no difference. In fact I'd even say that there are builtin functions that are less well known than itertools, like iter(seq, value) :-) -- Steven _______________________________________________ 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/FV6MAHWBOBWIUCFKXBWYHAEZU67WHVDO/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
