Hagen Fürstenau <hfuerste...@gmx.net> added the comment: I added a simple check for iterables. This is not very elegant, but performance is only affected in the case of an exception. Patch and corresponsing test are attached as "TypeError.patch".
As I pointed out above, the actual error message "must be a sequence" is also inconsistent with the implementation (and tests) which allows any kind of iterable. The attached and independent patch "message_and_docs.patch" changes this to "must be an iterable" and corrects docs and tests accordingly. ---------- keywords: +patch versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.1 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file14166/TypeError.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4806> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
