Do they honestly expect me to believe that there wasn’t a more appropriate way to abbreviate “cumulative maximum” than cummax? Imagine the headaches the inventor of the world’s first Python powered sexbot will suffer when they realise that the method name cummin has already been taken.
You never rename a function, no matter how bad it is lol. There’s been a multi-year fight on the Python Forums about
re.matchbeing confusing since it anchors the expression to the start of the string while some other languages usematchto search the whole string.I propose that they deprecate
cumsumand instead provide an alternative spellingsumcumsince that will group it with the other sum functions in the language server autocomplete optionsOf course this applies to the related functions
maxcum,mincum, andprodcum
