Should map(None, a, b) == zip(a, b), leaving python with multiple ways to do one thing? Or should the surprising but useful map(None, ...) behavior disappear or become even more surprising by padding? Is there any reason at all for map to take multiple sequences now that we have starmap and (i)zip? -- Michael Urman http://www.tortall.net/mu/blog _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
