New submission from Michael Gilbert <michael.s.gilb...@gmail.com>: hello, i've recently been working on some code where i am processing a list, but excluding certain items. the solution is to use a list comprehension in the for statement, which for example looks like:
for m in [n for n in range( 0 , 5 ) if n != 2] determining what's going on here isn't immediately obvious (i.e. what's this new variable n doing?). it would be nice to have a more streamlined syntax such as: for m in range( 0 , 5 ) with m != 2 which is much cleaner and obvious. the statements following "with" could be any conditional expression. this is just a wishlist item, and i understand that it wouldn't have much priority in the grand scheme of things. thank you for your consideration. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 86377 nosy: zero79 severity: normal status: open title: feature request: a conditional "for" statement type: feature request versions: Python 2.4, Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.0, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5823> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
