[Python-Dev] ''.join in 1.6

[Gerrit Holl]

Hello,

I have a question/suggestion about ''.join in Python 1.6.

Suppose I have this list:
l = ["This", "is", "a", "test"]

Currently, I would join it this way into a tab-delimeted string:
s = string.join(l, '\t')

In 1.6, I should do it this way:
'\t'.join(s)

I think it would be better to have that method on the *list*:
s.join('\t')

That's more clear, isn't it?

regards,
Gerrit.
