Hi Georg,
A bit of relevant background about me:
I've been interested in Duck Typing _specifically_ for a couple of
years when I started watching edits to it on Wikipedia. I researched the
history of the use of the term and

I've been playing with Python 3.9.0rc1 and was looking at a particular graph to
see when it released tasks for processing.
I ran the following code:
from functools import reduce
from pprint import pprint as pp
from collections import defaultdict
from gra

Hi, I was answering some question and used dict.setdefault as part of the
solution and posted the help() on it as part of my answer.
The help was this:
In [15]: help(mapper.setdefault)

OK, here's a suggested re-wording:

In the zip section of the documentation, e.g.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#zip There is mention of an
idiom for clustering a data series into n-length groups that I seem to only
come across when people are explaining how it works on blog
Paddy McCarthy added the comment:
Hmmm. It seems that the problem isn't to do with the fact that it works, or how
to apply it; the problem is with *how* it works.
Making it an idiom means that too many will use it without knowing why it works
which could lead to later maintenance issu
Paddy McCarthy added the comment:
I like R. David Murray's suggestion, but I am also aware of how it works and so
cannot judge how it would look to the intermediate Python programmer who knows
iterators and zip, but is new to this grouper; (who I think should be the

Can we now:
1. Move os.path.commonprefix to str.commonprefix or string.commonprefix
2. Deprecate the use of os.path.commonprefix
3. Add os.path.commonpath
4. Update the documentation.
This seems to have lingered for too long and yet people have been willing
