New submission from INADA Naoki <songofaca...@gmail.com>: In http://docs.python.org/release/2.6.6/glossary.html, "iterable" is described as "A container object capable of returning its members one at a time." Is it correct? Is stream object like file a container type?
Container ABC requires only "__contains__" abstract method. I think file is iterable but is not container. Likewise, "and objects of any classes you define with an __iter__() or __getitem__() method." is wrong because __getitem__ method is not relate to iterable. ---------- assignee: d...@python components: Documentation messages: 121152 nosy: d...@python, naoki priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Is iterable a container type? versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10410> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
