If we're going to do this to the builtin (I'm still -1 on changing the builtin FWIW), I'm persuaded by Chris Barkley's (somewhat different) argument that we may as well combine all the functionality in the builtin. How about zip(*iterables, length="shortest") # "shortest" is default zip(*iterables, length="longest", fill=None) # None is default zip(*iterables, length="checksame") # or just "same" or "checkequal" etc As the odd suggested value "checksame" shows, I see these semantics as not exactly congruent. But I think the argument name "length" addresses the concern about the ambiguity of various argument names. _______________________________________________ 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/KQM5RK5LGXUFAMFVFYEGMYQBQXXSLG6X/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
