Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: Proposing an expansion of the definition of product() is a *completely* different issue from the validity of count() as an input. I answered correctly given the current definition of product(): it is not valid input. It is also not valid input to your proposed revision: >>> tuple(itertools.cycle(enumerate(it)) for it in itertools.count()) ... TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable -- just as I said.
If you want to propose an enhancement, either open an new, enhancement issue or post to python-ideas. Since new features can only go in 3.3+, post 3.x code, not 2.x. And please do not quibble about the difference between 'infinite' and 'too large to fit in memory'. ---------- stage: -> committed/rejected versions: +Python 3.3 -Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10109> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
