#itertools
9/ Static types aren't checked at runtime but they ARE stored in a function's `annotations` attribute, and in fact you can put anything you want as an annotation:

```
>>> def g(x: 3) -> itertools:
... ...
...
>>> g.__annotations__
{'x': 3, 'return': <module 'itertools' (built-in)>}
```

holding my nose and adding itertools to this project for one function
how is there noting in rust stdlib to do permutations for an iter ???

wdym? itertools is part of the standard library, and I'm just using it to chain iterators, not "recursion"

OMG, Itertools::chunk_by is *so* convenient. docs.rs/itertools/la...

An `Iterator` blanket implementation that provides extra adaptors and methods.

Increasingly convinced that `at_most_one` and `exactly_one` are the best thing in itertools

I'm on my phone and didn't realize I linked to the "wrong" project. Use this instead:
docs.rs/itertools/la... Itertools in itertools - Rust

I could imagine that the system
I’m describing replaces blanket impls with newtypes in a way that effectively corresponds to ML modules for things that would be blanket impls in Rust (eg to use itertools need to call some transformer to make your iterator a type that implements Itertools)

Even if you’re not into Python, you may still enjoy this article…

But you’ll enjoy it more if you’re interested in Python.

Especially if you don’t often use the itertools module

itertools fixes this in rust
November 5, 2025 at 12:49 PM
`exactly_one` and `at_least_one` are low-key becoming my favorite methods in `itertools`
September 7, 2025 at 7:16 PM
You’re a Python programmer.

How often do you use `itertools`?

If the answer is “never” or “rarely”, you probably ought to spend a bit more time getting acquainted with it

groupby() is a powerful function from itertools that groups consecutive identical values in an iterable.
It's perfect for data processing, counting runs, and simplifying repetitive sequences.

The takewhile function returns an iterator (a lazy iterable), just as most looping helpers in itertools do. Read more 👉 https://trey.io/xtql6h #Python

fun fact: when I posted this on twitter or mastodon (can't remember which tbh), someone complained that the itertools approach is gatekeeping
June 25, 2023 at 12:52 AM
ultimately i think the question boils down to "there's several ways to interpret this, why would we pick one arbitrarily, use an iterator api like zip, chain, or itertools::product that says what you mean"

#rustlang Crate Highlight

✨itertools ✨

If you need advanced iterator ops like intersections, sorting, interleaving, merging, grouping, this crate is for you. I wonder if these will eventually be part of rust std but for now this crate rocks!
