Vedran Čačić <ved...@gmail.com> added the comment: I must say I agree with Dominik here. Too many times my students write list comprehensions when they mean a for loop. It's not just a "has result vs updates inplace" dichotomy: often it produces some output like a drawing or just a print() call [one of rare things that was better when print was a command is that it was impossible to do this:]. Yes, I know print call is not a method, but e.g. .plot() on DataFrame is. I'd sleep easier if I knew the Programming FAQ didn't encourage this style.
It would be enough to add a sentence of a sort "If you don't care about the return value of the method, use a for loop. for obj in mylist: obj.method() " ---------- nosy: +veky _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40342> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
