How about "balanced" or "exact" as possible names. The main thing that I think is vital is for the docstring(s) to mention that they all exist - the current zip (in 3.8) doesn't mention zip_longest so if you don't already know about it.
Or even how about calling any flag/parameter "tail", "spare" or "pad" - (the last would be my preferred) if it is an exception type, including StopIteration, when any of the input iterators runs out then that exception is raised, (StopIteration would give the zip_shortest behaviour), or a value that is used to extend the exhausted iterator(s). I think that this would also work well for map as well.

There's "coextensive", but that'll probably get a -1. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/K3OGDVFTB46BQVGWXU2Q3K2V24MBUQIZ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/ _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/CEXXJOSBDTOOP74QH6XHFZJF4QXEURXP/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
