Both 3.7 and 3.8 are in feature-freeze, so the earliest we can get this would be 3.9. But before that, we have to decide on what reversing a reversed object means. it = reversed([1, 2, 3, 4]) next(it) list( reversed(it) ) Should that give [1, 2, 3] or [1, 2, 3, 4]? I think that either answer will annoy and surprise some people. [1, 2, 3] will surprise those who expect to get the original iterable back. [1, 2, 3, 4] will surprise those who expect reversed to operate on the current state of an iterator, not it's previous state. ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano versions: +Python 3.9 -Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37770> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
