I don't think this is a problem, since it is only a local variable in a function. |

Thanks for your bug report and patch, but I agree that we can't change this. The repeat() function really does take 'object' as the keyword argument: >>> from itertools import * >>> list(repeat(times=3, object='abc')) ['abc', 'abc', 'abc'] >>> repeat(times=3, element='abc') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: Required argument 'object' (pos 1) not found Using 'object' is a minor wart, but I think it's not worth the backward compatibility risk of changing it. So the documentation needs to describe the actual keyword argument. |
