I guess, I'm just asking for enumerate to go through the same change that range went through. Why wasn't it a problem for range?
range() returns a list in Python 2 and a generator in Python 3. enumerate() has never returned a sequence. It was one of the first builtin APIs in Python to return a generator: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0279/ after iterators and generators were introduced to the language: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0234/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0255/ The main purpose of enumerate() is to allow enumeration of objects in a sequence or other iterable. If you need a sequence, simply wrap it with list(), e.g. list(enumerate(sequence)). -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Experts (#1, Sep 30 2015)
