"For me"? No. It is, pure and simply, a fact about Python. That is how the language is defined. It's not "for me" a fact, as if facts might not be facts for other people. That isn't how facts work, and it isn't how Python works. Here's some documentation on the iterator protocol, and if you want to discuss further, python-list hasn't had a long and rambling thread on "why are iterators the way they are" for a while... have fun. https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#typeiter ChrisA _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
