I liked "for i in 10:" at first, however, the more I see of the Haskell iterator syntax, the more I like it. Given that * it should cause no backward compatibility issues (you can't put "..." in a list now, can you? NumPy?) * it completely replaces range and xrange, not just one use of it * it can be made to work for floats, strings and possibly other builtin data types as well as ints * you can optimize it well I would tend to view the int-as-iterator as a wart (a neat sort of wart, but a wart nonetheless), while the Haskell syntax is elegant and seems to fit in well with existing Python usage. -1 -- Skip Montanaro (skip@pobox.com - http://www.mojam.com/) It's only a 25% solution to our problems. Of course, we only want to solve 25% of our problems, so it becomes a 100% solution.
