  1. That would mean that every class type would have to provide methods implementing this functionality, whereas with the Python way, it only needs to be implemented once, as a built-in function.

  2. However, note a language inconsistency. While [isinstance(i, int) for i in sample_list] is equivalent to list(isinstance(i, int) for i in sample_list) which computes the same list as l = (isinstance(i, int) for i in sample_list) l = list(l) These are not equivalent to l = (isinstance(i, int) for i in sample_list) l = [l] which returns only a list of a single element, being the generator object. This seems like a deliberate design decision.
