In my perfect world, strings would be indicable and sliceable, but not iterable.
An object that was indexable but not iterable would be a very strange thing. If it has __len__ and __getitem__, there's nothing to stop you iterating over it by hand anyway, so disallowing __iter__ would just seem perverse. A case could be made for strings being sliceable but neither indexable nor iterable, but it's probably too late to make such a radical change now. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
