David W. Lambert <lamber...@corning.com> added the comment: Nice. Now I know that $e$ is a least transcendental number. But I can't figure out why inserting this code into your file (and removing some "itertools.") is difficult or unreadable. I maintain a personal library of modules that I don't actually expect Guido to include in the python standard library.
import itertools def count(offset=0,stride=1): for i in itertools.count(): yield offset+i*stride # this version probably performs faster def count(offset=0,stride=1): while True: yield offset offset += stride _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5032> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
