> one Stack Overflow question, with a low number of votes Mind explaining why you say 159 is a "low number of votes" for a StackOverflow question on Python?
According to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python, this puts it in the top 3031 / 1908740 = 0.00159 = 0.159% of Python questions by vote count. > And yet you haven't demonstrated that this is the case for your proposal What kind of evidence would satisfy you? And how did previous proposals you supported obtain such evidence? We've already had 2 other participants here attesting to frequent use of this functionality. > it's not clear that the OP shouldn't have been using a list in the first place This has already been explained in this thread. A list is not immutable. A tuple is. Both the old and new tuples are not mutated or mutable, and we want to keep it that way. See namedtuple's ._replace method. namedtuples are also immutable. We simply want the same functionality for tuple. ------- Original Message ------- On Friday, March 11th, 2022 at 4:41 AM, Paul Moore <p.f.mo...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, 11 Mar 2022 at 02:20, wfdc via Python-ideas > > python-ideas@python.org wrote: > > > If users find themselves re-implementing the same utility function over > > again and over again across different projects, it's a good sign that such > > a function should be part of the standard library. > > And yet you haven't demonstrated that this is the case for your > > proposal (one Stack Overflow question, with a low number of votes, > > where it's not clear that the OP shouldn't have been using a list in > > the first place, isn't particularly compelling evidence). > > Paul > > _______________________________________________ > > 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/2A6GQZJ4G7JZMSIE6M4CU4BQMQJ62XUN/ > > Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/ _______________________________________________ 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/YM3GUONPOVES6A7EV7BCXVBH5I6T7EQD/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
