Sackful may be more accurate :-) On a different note... I wonder how you do it: Look at 300 lines of code and notice exactly those 3 that... um... cause a lot of trouble :-) [My eyes just glaze over] On a more specific note, its the 1st line: class filter(object) which knocks me off. If a more restricted type from the ABC was shown which exactly captures all the iterator-specific stuff like __iter__, __next__ it would sure help (me) On a 3rd note: I think Ive found a little buglet while trying to post this message, can you confirm? [Linux Debian Xfce] After selecting the line above [inside python inside help(filter) ]for cut-pasting here, by mistake I pressed Ctrl-C rather than Ctrl-Shift-C An exception was thrown and the terminal remained in some sort of raw mode even after exiting python -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
