That's a good description of the various paths, but I don't think the bar here is as high as a PEP. I don't recall there being a PEP for zip(..., strict=). This is somewhat more invasive than that, but I really don't see a need for a PEP. The motivation is obvious, the implementation is trivial unless you want to catch edge cases like replacing an index that's out of bounds (note ()[:0] + ()[1:] => ()), but that's the only such I can think of, and that's close to trivial. The only justification I can see for a PEP would be a curated list of usages and/or description of a compelling use case. The former *would* be a PITA that wfdc is manifestly unwilling to perform. The latter is nonexistent, it's a three-line function, and that's assuming you go for overkill with argument-checking. Saying that it's been discussed on Python Ideas, and now it's ready for review, should be enough to foreclose bringing it back here. I think the likely response to a PR is summary closure, but that's the best bet. There's nothing to be learned by continuing this thread, that's for sure. > Yes, this is all a damn nuisance, Not compared to the free-fire zones I've seen in some projects. ;-) Steve _______________________________________________ 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/3HCZ76STIOVJD2KYTABEZQ4CMM3YJLHQ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
