Raymond Hettinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Do you guys see any merit in changing the argument order for ifilter so that the predicate function can just be an optional argument:
ifilter(data[, pred]) Alex Martelli successfully lobbied for groupby() to have that same argument order. Originally, the signature was groupby(key, iterable) but it worked-out much better to have groupby(iterable[, key]). Also, I like swapped arguments because it more closely parallels the order used in an equivalent list comprehension: [e for e in iterable if pred(e)] __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2186> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
