I agree. I don’t think more-itertools meets the category-killer standard, because of toolz. (Briefly, more-itertoolz has the exact recipes from the latest Python version’s docs plus a good set of its own extras, while toolz has a very large and well-integrated collection of tools that grew out of the recipes in their own direction.) But athey’re both solidly-maintained and widely-used packages, so I don’t think there would be much danger in blessing more-itertools, or even both of them, as “second-tier recommendations”. If that is something the Python devs want to get into doing, this is probably one of the best recommendations to consider making. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/QYQENDWYMB5PGJBNBHJBCAH6GOJMKWP4/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
