Matt Deacalion Stevens added the comment:

It's probably just me then. The code example is what helped me grasp `cycle`, 
not the explanation.

[issue21727] Ambiguous sentence explaining `cycle` in itertools documentation

[Matt Deacalion Stevens]

New submission from Matt Deacalion Stevens:

https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/itertools.html#itertools.cycle

The first sentence sounds a bit ambiguous:
Make an iterator returning elements from the iterable and saving a copy of 
each.

Suggestion:
Make an iterator that returns elements from the iterable and saves a copy of 
each.
