[Python-ideas] Re: Make list.reverse() more flexible

I see. I do agree that my reply brings about that 'verbose repeated' feeling, haha. But for the record, it's not about having something in hand now for the future, but it's more of a paradigmatic approach to the implementation. Python has changed for the better in terms of necessity: - map() returns an iterator instead of a whole list at once - generator yields values only when needed (unlike list comprehension) So I thought, 'Why do we need to make a reversed copy to assign it to the original part, when we can simply reverse the original part itself.' That's the paradigm. Anyway, thanks.
