As per Terry's recommendation https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2016-November/146791.html Currently some functions in itertools (dropwhile and takewhile), don't accept None as a predicate, but filterfalse and groupby do. I'd like your input, and I'm interested in writing a patch. |

I think that the simpler signature is better, that the None argument isn't clear, and that there aren't use cases that warrant and API churn. On your last post, it seemed that you were withdrawing the request. Can this tracker item be closed now? |

Note that the predicate is optional argument in groupby but mandatory in dropwhile and takewhile. I suppose that filter and filterfalse accept None for historical reason (they precede bool). |

I think removing None as a valid predicate to filterfalse would make the API simpler, but I don't know if it's worth the API change, please do close the issue if you think it's not worth it. |
