Worse, generators don't necessarily *have* a finite set of items, and there's no way in general of telling whether any particular generator will have a “last item” without trying to get all the items. So it would be actively harmful to provide such a method on generators, IMO. -- \ “Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very | `\ important that you do it.” —Mahatma Gandhi | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
