New submission from Neil Girdhar:
In the description of the consume recipe:
def consume(iterator, n):
"Advance the iterator n-steps ahead. If n is none, consume entirely."
# Use functions that consume iterators at C speed.
if n is None:
# feed the entire iterator into a zero-length deque
collections.deque(iterator, maxlen=0)
else:
# advance to the empty slice starting at position n
next(islice(iterator, n, n), None)
iterator should be replaced with iterable. This function accepts strings for
example, which are not iterators.
