Ethan Furman added the comment: Playing devil's advocate:
The issue is not so much the keystrokes saved as the improvement in reading and understanding what was intended. If you are happy with starting at 1 the idiom is easy to both write, read, and understand; but if you want some other starting number you have to uglify your code with parenthesis, .methods, and add an extra iterator which you have to manually re-sync if you later add another name... I think that is the real issue -- not keystrokes. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21706> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
