As I said, it’s an interesting exercise in any case. I have no idea if the core devs would be interested in adding it.
There have been a couple recipes on this thread for an iterator, but I envision something like the range() object — it’s a lazy Sequence, not just an iterator. I think that would be pretty cool. -CHB On Wed, Feb 9, 2022 at 3:45 AM Aman Pandey <amanpandey5...@gmail.com> wrote: > I can give it a try, but I have never done it before and anything which I > should be knowing beforehand because it will be my first time. > > I would like to listen from other fellow developers what they think about > this? > > > On Wed, Feb 9, 2022 at 1:09 PM Christopher Barker <python...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> I think a datetime.range object could be useful. >> >> Perhaps someone can write one and then see if the core devs would accept >> it in the stdlib. >> >> It would be na interesting exercise in any case :-) >> >> -CHB >> >> On Tue, Feb 8, 2022 at 10:38 PM Aman Pandey <amanpandey5...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> >>> I get your point.
