GASP! That's no fair! 1) When using pop you normally want to keep the mutability available, so iter(mylist) is a no-go. 2) When using the index, it's often somewhere in the middle that you're popping from 3) There's always deque for deques That said you can always use blist which has O(log n) time complexity for these pops. It's a hassle it's not stdlib :/. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
