Raymond Hettinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: FWIW, I would like to see a newsgroup or python-dev discussion for a more general solution to the problem for helpful repr's for iterators. In 3.0, lots of things return iterators, not just range().
Before applying one ad-hoc patch, it would be helpful to think through how the issue should be handled across the whole language. For example, perhaps pprint() should display general iterators with the <...> notation. For teaching and experimentation purposes, maybe the right answer is the make the command-line a bit smarter. It already knows how to suppress None return values. Perhaps, it should be taught how to display range objects and dict.items() and such. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2610> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
