Raymond Hettinger added the comment: FWIW, I didn't disagree on filter(). Am taking your suggestion under advisement for a couple days. At this point, I'm leaning towards accepting the request (although with a different version of the patch).
For map(None, ...), I happy to live with examples like the patch you referenced. It's important that this API be as simple and clean as possible. It's a matter of taste. I concur with Guido that we never would have created map(None, ...) if zip() had existed. The primary use case is obsolete. Also, I think the motivation behind your other use case will likey be addressed in a more general way with an identify function being added to the operator module. That is a more explicit and less hackish than having a special meaning for None. It is also more in-line with the way functional language approach the same problem. Will meditate on both of these for a couple days and get back. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2186> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
