My current thinking in response to that is that using islice is a decent solution except that it's not obvious. You have to jump outside of the thinking about the destructuring capability and consider what else could be used to help. Probably, first thing that _would_ come to mind from outside would be slicing with square brackets, but that would restrict the solution to only work with sequences and not other iterables and iterators as islice does.
That brings up a tangential idea. Why not allow square-bracket indexing of generators instead of having to import and utilize islice for that? _______________________________________________ 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/ZGMFS4Y56MDPQLEIKW6PQVW2WDHRSGZV/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
