> PS. Why wasn't a new builtin zip_strict() on the menu? I think I would have given it at least +0.5, because of this rule of thumb.
I would think that if zip_strict() added as a builtin, then zip_longest() should too. And the fact that zip_longest was not added as a builtin made me think that it was a non-starter. Which kinda brings up a point— in the example string methods (formerly the string module) there are a number of separate functions that could have been one function with flags. And that works well. But partly because it’s a a well defined namespace. We really don’t want to clutter up builtins too much, and having such closely related functions in different namespaces really reduces the usability. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
