-1. Apart from range() this is used nowhere else in Python. (Well, it is in curses, but it's an abomination there too.) I'd rather keep explicit None that *this*, though I really don't see what's wrong with filter(bool, ...) -- you can even optimize for that pattern. __________________________________ 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
