Consider the following code: for i in range(mylimit): foo() running pychecker gives me a """ Local variable (i) not used """ complaint. If I use for dummy in range(mylimit): .... ## or for _ in range(mylimit): .... I get no complaint from pychecker. I would welcome comments on best practices for this issue. NOTE: I see much on google regarding unused local variables, however, doing a search for 'python _' hasn't proved fruitful.
I would like to see comments here specifically on the use for `range' On a related note: from the python interpreter if I do >>> help(_) I get Help on bool object: class bool(int) | bool(x) -> bool ...... I'd welcome comments on this as well. :) I expect to be edified is so many ways, some of them unexpected. thanks -- Tim tim at johnsons-web dot com or akwebsoft dot com http://www.akwebsoft.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
