I couldn't resist. Moar funky-cool Python:
>>> from string import ascii_letters
>>> ors = ['|'] * (len(ascii_letters) * 2 - 1)
>>> ors[::2] = ascii_letters
>>> ''.join(ors)
'a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h|i|j|k|l|m|n|o|p|q|r|s|t|u|v|w|x|y|z|A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I|J|K|L|M|N|O|P|Q|R|S|T|U|V|W|X|Y|Z'
(Obviously, in this example '|'.join(ascii_letters) would suffice, but if the objects weren't strings...)
- beambot 13y agoNot gonna lie... your snippet made me say "WTF?" Why not just do: from string import ascii_letters '|'.join( ascii_letters ) (I also like list slicing... but only when necessary.)
- calroc 13y agoYeah, I realized after posting it. (See edit.) The original code was using non-string objects. I basically come up with this to get the same behavior as str.join(). ;-)

- calroc 13y agoThe original use for that code was to build a list of parsing objects to create a single parsing object that was the OR'ing of the basic ones.
