A.M. Kuchling added the comment: Thanks for your bug report and patch, but I agree that we can't change this. The repeat() function really does take 'object' as the keyword argument:
>>> from itertools import * >>> list(repeat(times=3, object='abc')) ['abc', 'abc', 'abc'] >>> repeat(times=3, element='abc') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: Required argument 'object' (pos 1) not found Using 'object' is a minor wart, but I think it's not worth the backward compatibility risk of changing it. So the documentation needs to describe the actual keyword argument. ---------- nosy: +akuchling resolution: -> wont fix stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18250> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
