Oscar Benjamin added the comment: Thank you Claudiu very much for writing a patch; I was expecting to have to do that myself!
Serhiy, you're right groupby is a better fit for this. It does mean a bit of reworking for the (more complicated) sum function I'm working on but I've just checked with timeit and it performs very well using the type function as a predicate. I think it might make the function a few times faster than takewhile in my common cases for reasons that are particular to this problem. Raymond, thanks for taking the time to consider this. I agree that it should now be closed. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18821> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
