[Python-Dev] iter.index() (original) (raw)

Hi,

I wanted to do something like

i = itertools.chain(list1, list2).index(elem)

but that gave me

...
AttributeError: 'itertools.chain' object has no attribute 'index'

If I use the operator module it works just fine.

i = operator.indexOf(itertools.chain(list1, list2), elem)

Why not add the index method to iterator objects? Of course, internally only next() is used by the default implementation.
