Sorry for the wording of the last message. Go ahead with whatever you would like do :-) Was only trying to point-out that the generator semantics don't interact nicely with slice assignments: $ python3.9 -m timeit -s 'a=list(range(1000))' 'b=a[:]' 'b[:]=(x for x in a)' 5000 loops, best of 5: 46.6 usec per loop $ python3.9 -m timeit -s 'a=list(range(1000))' 'b=a[:]' 'b[:]=[x for x in a]' 10000 loops, best of 5: 26.3 usec per loop ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41774> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
