That principle was bullshit anyway. There have always been multiple ways to do things, the one way was just whatever the elder Pythonista deemed to be pythonic that day.

I don’t agree and this behavior shouldn’t be surprising. The alternative would be to walk the container and compare the value of each element, which could be horrible.

Iterators and callbacks aren’t comparable. You don’t use them for the same thing.

Second this. I can’t understand finding Python beautiful or even elegant. It just took a hodgepodge of features from languages like Haskell and C++, and repackaged them clumsily. It’s good for writing short scripts and throw-away code, but it shouldn’t be used as a serious programming language.
