Re: [Python-ideas] Can we add "zip and assert equal length" to the standard library?

Hi All I've followed my own advice, earlier in this thread. The newly created repository https://github.com/jfine2358/py-jfine2358 contains personal Python code that others might find useful. And you'll find in it: === https://github.com/jfine2358/py-jfine2358/blob/master/jfine2358/itertools.py def zipclose(*argv, close): '''As zip(*argv), but call close before raising StopIteration. [snip]''' === Given zipclose, we can solve Peter's problem by writing a suitable close function. And some other problems can be solved, by using a different close function. Comment on my code at https://github.com/jfine2358/py-jfine2358/issues (preferred), or on this thread. Finally, thank you Peter for another good problem. -- Jonathan
