Richard Neumann <r.neum...@homeinfo.de> added the comment: Maybe there is no need to sacrifice performance, if a new, optional keyword argument would be introduced to dict.items():
def items(self, named=False): if named: <yield namedtuples> else: <current behaviour> Currently I need to define a namedtuple everywhere I do this and starmap the dicts' items. It'd be nice to have this option built-in or a new collections class like: from collections import namedtuple from itertools import starmap DictItem = namedtuple('DictItem', ('key', 'value')) class NamedDict(dict): """Dictionary that yields named tuples on item iterations.""" def items(self): """Yields DictItem named tuples.""" return starmap(DictItem, super().items()) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31992> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
