Josh Rosenberg added the comment: I'll note: "".join(map(str, iterable)) will solve problem #1. It's fast, uses existing built-ins, and is relatively intuitive. I know map is sometimes considered Pythonic, but "".join(str(x) for x in iterable) is an equally effective, if somewhat slower, alternative that can't be called un-Pythonic.
I have no idea why you think "".join(iterable) is not Pythonic, it's *the* way to join strings into a single string. Fast, direct, simple. string.from_iterable seems like a silly way to do what "".join(map(INSERTFAVORITEFUNCTIONHERE, iterable)) does already, for no gain. ---------- nosy: +josh.r _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23179> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
