[Python-Dev] PEP 3000 and iterators

[Lisandro Dalcin]

PEP 3000 says
(http://www.python.org/peps/pep-3000.html) :

Core language
- Return iterators instead of lists where appropriate for atomic type
methods (e.g. dict.keys(), dict.values(), dict.items(), etc.)

Built-in Namespace
- Make built-ins return an iterator where appropriate (e.g. range(),
zip(), etc.)
- Relevant functions should consume iterators (e.g. min(), max())
To be removed:
- xrange(): use range() instead [1]

Any possibility to add one (or more) __future__ statement to
implicitly get this behavior? Any suggestion about naming?
