Personally, I'd love a language feature that let you create a function that didn't evaluate arguments until they were actually used - lazy evaluation. That lets you write the C ?: operator as a function, for a start.
Hmmm. No, iterators can't be used to fake it. Oh well.
That is a brilliant idea. I would suggest requesting such a feature for Python 3.0: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/Python3.0
However, Python 3.0 is likely years away. If you want to know how to use this feature today, consult Fredrik Lundh.
