I am going to decline this for collections and itertools based on the relative infrequency of need (for us, it usually only comes up in the context of strings). FWIW, there may be algorithmically more advanced techniques that might be worth looking into: knuth-morris-pratt, rabin-karp, etc. Please do post this to the Python Package Index or someother place where people can get to it if the need arises. ---------- resolution: -> rejected stage: patch review -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue25898> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
