It *accepts* strings, but it doesn't consume them. It runs through the string, but the string still exists and you can iterate over it again and again and again. The intent of the recipe is to consume an *iterator* not arbitrary iterables. I don't believe the recipe or its description needs to be changed. ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24624> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
