Alexey Kachayev added the comment: Updated patch with: * fix error in islice function name * made n=None default second argument for consume(iterator, n=None) cause it provides specific behavior when n is None which can be assumed as default for function ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file28768/itertools.doc.v3.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16774> _______________________________________

Alexey Kachayev added the comment: It's hard to evaluate how popular given recipes, but: * drop is opposite to take, so it's as popular as take * the same situation with splitat, splitby - it's one case of partition that's hard to write each time with enumerator (partition is already in documentation) * takelast, droplast was added cause itertools.islice doesn't support negative indices (which is ok). both functions have not obvious implementation - I'm sure that recipes will be good example for users how to work with iterators even if concrete functions aren't so widely-spreaded ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16774> _______________________________________
