I've started working on an implementation and several choices arise: 1) Reject scalar with a TypeError if scalar is a Counter 2) Reject scalar with a TypeError if scalar is a Mapping 3) Reject scalar with a TypeError if scalar is a Collection 4) Reject scalar with a TypeError if scalar is Sized (has a __len__ method). I lean toward rejecting all things Sized because _everyone_ knows that scalars aren't sized ;-) Raymond _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
