I've never really used itertools before. While trying to figure out how to break a list up into equal pieces, I came across the consume function in the examples here:
http://docs.python.org/2/library/itertools.html It seems to me that it should return whatever it consumes from the list. I thought you would call it like this: for chunk in consume(range(30), 5): print chunk and see it print something like [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] [5, 6, 7, 8, 9] ... [25, 26, 27, 28, 29] If I call it like this: lst = range(30) consume(lst, 5) it doesn't actually consume anything from lst. Am I missing something, or is that example missing a return or yield statement? Thanks, Skip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
