Re: [Python-Dev] Re: PEP 292 - Simpler String Substitutions

[Clark C. Evans]

This code-snippet is littered everwhere in my applications:

string.join([str(x) for x in iterable])

Its tedious and makes code hard to read. Do we need a PEP to fix this?

You won't need a PEP to replace it with the similar code-snippet from my code: string.join(map(str, iterable)) Same thing in the end, but map reads quite well (perhaps even better than a listcomp) in applications as simple as this.
