Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: I think this discussion would be more useful on the python-ideas mailing list. The request (adding map to sequences) will probably be rejected*, but you have a good chance to get an explanation for this design choice by Guido van Rossum or one of the old-timer core devs.
*I think so because of str.join: people have said that they would prefer a list operation, but it’s always been denied because it would put the burden on any sequency type to implement the method, whereas with a str method then all iterables and iterators are supported for free. ---------- nosy: +eric.araujo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13804> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
