Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com> added the comment: These have been rejected before. There is always a trade-off in adding tools such as this -- it can take more time to learn and remember them than to write a trivial piece of code to do it yourself. Another issue is that people tend to disagree on how to handle an odd sized left-over group -- different use cases require different handling.
We're trying to keep the core toolset reasonably small so that python remains simple and learnable. That raises the threshold for adding new tools. ---------- resolution: -> rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13095> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
