Raymond Hettinger added the comment: I'll follow David Murray's suggestion here. The glossary definition of iterable is already very good, it just needs to clarify that the __getitem__() method needs to implement sequence semantics. Anything further is beyond the scope of a glossary entry.
Also, I'll amend the docs on collections.abc.Iterable() to be more specific about what it is does and doesn't recognize. FWIW, the topic is also discussed in other places: * https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#iter * https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__getitem__ * https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__iter__ ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue18558> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
