The start/stop/step sound like they might be nice. But that wouldn't give you a length, since you never know when an iterator will be exhausted. I feel like `len(islice(it, 1, 1_000_000))` telling you the "maximum possible length" is more a danger than a help. On Wed, Aug 12, 2020 at 4:41 AM Mathew Elman <mathew.elman@ocado.com> wrote:
Is there a reason that itertools.islice does not provide its start, stop and step values as attributes, similar to range? This seems like a sensible and useful thing to have, and would also allow islice's to have a __len__.
