I've never really used itertools before. While trying to figure out
how to break a list up into equal pieces, I came across the consume
function in the examples here:
http://docs.python.org/2/library/itertools.html
It seems to me that it should return whatever it consumes from the
list. I thought you would call it like this:
for chunk in consume(range(30), 5):
print chunk
and see it print something like
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
[5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
....
[25, 26, 27, 28, 29]
If I call it like this:
lst = range(30)
consume(lst, 5)
it doesn't actually consume anything from lst. Am I missing
something, or is that example missing a return or yield statement?
Thanks,
