[issue20478] Avoid inadvertently special casing Counter in statistics module
New submission from Nick Coghlan: As per the python-ideas thread at https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2014-February/025226.html the statistics.mode() function currently passes its argument directly to the collections.Counter() constructor. This results in Counter() objects being special-cased rather than treated as ordinary iterables. For the main API, it seems more appropriate to force treatment as an iterable by calling iter() on the argument before passing it to the Counter() constructor. I'll file a separate RFE about making it easier and more efficient to use the statistics module with weight/frequency mappings. -- components: Library (Lib) messages: 209930 nosy: gregory.p.smith, larry, ncoghlan, oscarbenjamin, stevenjd, wolma priority: release blocker severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: Avoid inadvertently special casing Counter in statistics module type: behavior versions: Python 3.4 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue20478 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
