New submission from Sergey Fedoseev <fedoseev.ser...@gmail.com>:
In [3]: help(zip) class zip(object) | zip(*iterables) --> zip object | | Return a zip object whose .__next__() method returns a tuple where | the i-th element comes from the i-th iterable argument. The .__next__() | method continues until the shortest iterable in the argument sequence | is exhausted and then it raises StopIteration. This description is awkward and should use term 'iterator' as https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#zip does. The same applies to chain(), count() and zip_longest() from itertools. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 350704 nosy: docs@python, sir-sigurd priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: zip() docstring should say 'iterator' instead of 'object with __next__()' _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37974> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
