setuptools._vendor.more_itertools.more.peekable

Wrap an iterator to allow lookahead and prepending elements. Call :meth:`peek` on the result to get the value that will be returned by :func:`next`. This won't advance the iterator: >>> p = peekable(['a', 'b']) >>> p.peek() 'a' >>> next(p) 'a' Pass :meth:`peek` a default value to return that instead of raising ``StopIteration`` when the iterator is exhausted. >>> p = peekable([]) >>> p.peek('hi') 'hi' peekables also offer a :meth:`prepend` method, which "inserts" items at the head of the iterable: >>> p = peekable([1, 2, 3]) >>> p.prepend(10, 11, 12) >>> next(p) 10 >>> p.peek() 11 >>> list(p) [11, 12, 1, 2, 3] peekables can be indexed. Index 0 is the item that will be returned by :func:`next`, index 1 is the item after that, and so on: The values up to the given index will be cached. >>> p = peekable(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']) >>> p[0] 'a' >>> p[1] 'b' >>> next(p) 'a' Negative indexes are supported, but be aware that they will cache the remaining items in the source iterator, which may require significant storage. To check whether a peekable is exhausted, check its truth value: >>> p = peekable(['a', 'b']) >>> if p: # peekable has items ... list(p) ['a', 'b'] >>> if not p: # peekable is exhausted ... list(p) []
