""" If I apply .next() to an iter of a deque that has been modified, I get a RuntimeError: py> d=collections.deque() py> d.append(10) py> i=iter(d) py> d.append(10) py> i.next() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? RuntimeError: deque mutated during iteration Yet when I apply .next() to an iter of an initially-empty deque, I get StopIteration: py> d=collections.deque() py> i=iter(d) py> d.append(10) py> i.next() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? StopIteration Is this a bug? Shouldn't the second example also raise the RuntimeError as the deque has been modified? (also, is appending an element a modification or a mutation?) """ To this question (.next on an iterator of a modified deque), my answer would be: "yes, that is a bug". However, I feel you are referring to a different issue, unfortunately, I cannot tell from your post what that issue is.
