Re: [Python-ideas] itertools.chunks(iterable, size, fill=None)

Le 26/06/2012 14:42, Joao S. O. Bueno a écrit :

itertools.chunks(iterable, size=None, separator=None, fill=None)

Requiring at leas one of size or separator to be set?

This would also work for "for x in text.split('\n')" case.

I think that splitting an iterable on some separators or on a chunck size are two completely different functions. Having the same function do either is a bit confusing and I don’t see the benefit.

Or is there an use case in passing both parameters? What would it do then, end the chunck after `size` elements or at `separator`, whichever comes first?
