There are three big use cases:

dict.keys dict.values dict.items

Currently these all return lists, which may be expensive in terms of copying. They all have iter* variants which while memory efficient, are far less convenient to work with.

I'm still wondering what "far less convenient" means. Is it simply the 4 extra key presses? I find the iter* variants to be a great solution. Robert Brewer System Architect Amor Ministries fumanchu@amor.org
