R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: In fact, I find the proposed syntax *less* obvious than the slice syntax, for sorted. IOW, I'd be -1 on adding these to sorted. The potentially useful case is between
l[a:b] = sorted(l[a:b}) vs l.sort(start=a, stop=b) where the interesting bit is that the sort takes place in place (no memory copy). I still find the slice syntax clearer :), and it's not clear that the savings of the memory copy for a few programs that use it is worth the added complexity for all other programs. So I concur with Raymond's rejection. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1491804> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
