Hi Warren, The topic you raise is an interesting one. When I've previously searched for 'streaming' and 'Python' I often see articles on Iterables such as the following:
[1] "Data streaming in Python: generators, iterators, iterables" https://rare-technologies.com/data-streaming-in-python-generators-iterators-iterables/ [2] "Python Basics: Iteration, Iterables, Iterators, and Looping" https://towardsdatascience.com/python-basics-iteration-and-looping-6ca63b30835c >From the first URL, there is an introductory quote regarding Lazy Evaluation. Well, Raku does Lazy Evaluation, so no problem there: "There are tools and concepts in computing that are very powerful but potentially confusing even to advanced users. One such concept is data streaming (aka lazy evaluation), which can be realized neatly and natively in Python." >From the second URL, you will find a discussion on Iterators: "An iterator is an object representing a stream of data. You can create an iterator object by applying the iter() built-in function to an iterable." So maybe we should be looking for articles on Iterators in Raku? Well as luck would have it, there are two recent blog posts on the subject: https://datakinds.github.io/2020/06/24/python-s-itertools-in-pure-raku https://datakinds.github.io/2020/06/25/explaining-raku-using-itertools And if you want to search further, you can also take a look at this series of four Raku (Perl6) blog posts--which has been recently updated--but stretches all the way back to 2018: https://0racle.info/articles/pick_and_choose_part_n HTH, Bill.
