Alexander Gosselin added the comment: Thanks for taking a look at this. I think array is little used, so registering it as a member of some of the abstract base classes in collections could easily have been overlooked.
One of the prerequisites for membership in MutableSequence is a .clear() method, and array doesn't have one, though there is no reason why it shouldn't. Here's the workaround that I'm using: import array import collections class array(array.array, collections.MutableSequence): __slots__ = () def __reversed__(self): # this is a bit hacky return reversed(self.tolist()) def clear(self): self.__setitem__(slice(None), self.__class__(self.typecode)) Here are some results: >>> a = array('f', [1,2,3,4]) >>> list(reversed(a)) [4.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0] >>> a.clear() >>> a array('f') ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30130> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
