Yeah I think the basic answer to this ticket is "Python doesn't really have multisets and a proposal to add them should go somewhere else". Fair enough-- consider the request withdrawn from here.
Regarding minimalism vs completeness, regarding some feature X (say X is multisets), it's reasonable per minimalism to decide not to have X. But if on weighing the use cases you decide to have X after all, I think it's best to implement X properly and completely with all the edge cases handled, rather than implement a half-baked subset. That was something Java was historically very good at and Python wasn't. I guess that is one for the theorists though. Thanks everyone. |
