This all seems proper to me. In each case, an iterator is returned -- that is the documented behavior. The specific type of iterator is allowed to vary in ways that are convenient for the implementation. Specifically, reversed() will call __reversed__() which must return an iterator but its type is allowed to vary. That is really convenient for handling extreme ranges separately from the fast, common case of smaller ranges. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36693> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
