This would be my preferred approach. It makes it very clear which functions are available for working with map style data. It will be clear from both the module documentation and a casual introspection of the module that those APIs are present for those who might want them. Also apart from mode() the implementation of each function on map-format data will be completely different from the iterable version so you'd want to have it as a separate function at least internally anyway. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20479> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
