Hi, I stumbled upon a confusing listreverseiterator behavior:
>>> l = [1, 2, 3, 4] >>> i = iter(l) >>> ri = reversed(l) >>> len(i) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: object of type 'listiterator' has no len() >>> len(ri) 4 >>> ri.next() 4 >>> len(ri) 3 This is the only reverse iterator with that sort of behavior. Is that intentional if yes, why? I stumbled upon that when writing a templating engine that tried to lazily get the length of the sequence / iterator but failed doing so after the first iteration because the length of the reverse iterator changes every iteration.
