Slightly more on my initial behavior:>>> Vector({1:2,3:4})TypeError: Ambiguity vectorizing a map, perhaps try it.keys(), it.values(), or it.items()>>> Vector(37)TypeError: Vector can only be initialized with an iterable>>> Vector("hello")<Vector of 'hello'>I'm wondering if maybe making a vector out of a scalar should simply be a length-one vector. What do you think?
Also, should a single string be treated like a vector of characters or like a scalar? It feels kinda pointless to make a vector of characters since I cannot think of anything it would do better than a plain string already does (largely just the same thing slower).On Sat, Feb 2, 2019 at 8:54 PM David Mertz <mertz@gnosis.cx> wrote:Here is a very toy proof-of-concept:>>> from vector import Vector>>> l = "Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec".split()>>> v = Vector(l)>>> v<Vector of ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']>>>> v.strip().lower().replace('a','X')<Vector of ['jXn', 'feb', 'mXr', 'Xpr', 'mXy', 'jun', 'jul', 'Xug', 'sep', 'oct', 'nov', 'dec']>>>> vt = Vector(tuple(l))>>> vt<Vector of ('Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec')>>>> vt.lower().replace('o','X')<Vector of ('jan', 'feb', 'mar', 'apr', 'may', 'jun', 'jul', 'aug', 'sep', 'Xct', 'nXv', 'dec')>My few lines are at https://github.com/DavidMertz/stringpyOne thing I think I'd like to be different is to have some way of accessing EITHER the collection being held OR each element. So now I just get:>>> v.__len__()<Vector of [3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3]>Yes, that's an ugly spelling of `len(v)`, but let's bracket that for the moment. It would be nice also to be able to ask "what's the length of the vector, in a non-vectorized way" (i.e. 12 in this case). Maybe some naming convention like:>>> v.collection__len__()12This last is just a possible behavior, not in the code I just uploaded.On Sat, Feb 2, 2019 at 6:47 PM Chris Angelico <rosuav@gmail.com> wrote:On Sun, Feb 3, 2019 at 10:36 AM Ben Rudiak-Gould <benrudiak@gmail.com> wrote:

What if it's a more complicated example?
len(sorted(a_list_of_strings.casefold())[:100])
where the len() is supposed to give back a list of the lengths of the
first hundred strings, sorted case insensitively? (Okay so it's a
horrible contrived example. Bear with me.)
With current syntax, this would need multiple map calls or comprehensions:
[len(s) for s in sorted(s.casefold() for s in a_list_of_strings)[:100]]
(Better examples welcomed.)
