Vedran Čačić added the comment: Operator seems OK. After all, we can currently do c+c, which is kinda like c*2 (sequences behave this way generally, and it is a usual convention in mathematics too). And division by a number is just a multiplication by its reciprocal. But a dedicated normalize method? No. As Josh said, then you're forking the API.
The correct way is probably to have a "normalized view" of a Counter. But I don't know the best way to calculate it fast. I mean, I know it mathematically (cache the sum of values and update it on every Counter update) but I don't know whether it's Pythonic enough. ---------- nosy: +veky _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25478> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
