Good point. Perhaps it would be a useful addition to the itertools
module then?

Thanks Alex, I'll take another look at that PEP. The first time I tried

Hello,
I've not had much luck in searching for a discussion on this in the
Python-Dev archives, so bear with me.
I had an idea this morning for a simple extension to Python's iterator
protocol that would allow the user to force an iterator to raise
StopIteration on the next call to next(). My th
I posted this question to python-help, but I think I have a better chance
of getting the answer here.
I'm looking for clarification on when NEWLINE tokens are generated during
lexical analysis of Python source code. In particular, I'm confused about
some of the top-level components in Python's gr

Someone on python-help suggested that I forward this question to
python-dev.
I've been studying Python's core compiler and bytecode interpreter as a
model for my own interpreted language, and I've come across what appears
to be a reference counting problem in the `symtable_exit_scope' function
in
