Hi Aaron I personally don't understand how somedict.values().to_list() is actually preferable to list(somedict.keys())
In the standard python idiom I am constructing a new object (which I can control the type of) using a standard language mechanism (and I can substitute list with set or for that matter any other class that accepts an iterable as initial argument) where as what you advocate is calling some special method of an instance which in fact is a factory for instantiating some other class, this seems to be less flat than the standard idiom and significantly less flexible. and more typing ;-) How do you see the to_list() to be better or contributing the the user experience ?
