STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: It would be interesting to have Counter.elements_count() if it has a complexity of O(1): if the collections maintains a total (in a private attribute).
Otherwise, I think that sum(c.values()) is enough and can be documented as an example in the Counter doc. ---------- nosy: +haypo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11733> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
