I agree with others that I don't see a compelling need to add these to Python, since they are all easy to implement in a few lines.
But what I really want to say is that Python tries hard to be easily readable and easily understood, by any reader. List.removeall( ) that does not remove all elements, but all occurrences of a value passed to it, does not seem to me to meet that goal. Even if you implement this as a function I encourage to think of a better name than removeall. --- Joseph S. -----Original Message----- From: Siva Sukumar Reddy <suku...@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2018 8:37 AM To: python-list@python.org; python-id...@python.org Subject: Python Enhancement Proposal for List methods Hey everyone, I am really new to Python contribution community want to propose below methods for List object. Forgive me if this is not the format to send an email. 1. *list.replace( item_to_be_replaced, new_item )*: which replaces all the occurrences of an element in the list instead of writing a new list comprehension in place. 2. *list.replace( item_to_be_replaced, new_item, number_of_occurrences )*: which replaces the occurrences of an element in the list till specific number of occurrences of that element. The number_of_occurrences can defaulted to 0 which will replace all the occurrences in place. 3. *list.removeall( item_to_be_removed )*: which removes all the occurrences of an element in a list in place. What do you think about these features? Are they PEP-able? Did anyone tried to implement these features before? Please let me know.
