Hello, I came to report one bug (in the Python 3 tutorial documentation), and ran into another (functional in bugs.python.org bug tracker registration system). I have included details for both bugs below.
Thanks in advance for your assistance, I am loving Python and the documentation! Warm regards, Francis Esmonde-White ############################### *Bug 1:* In the Python 3 tutorial section 9.8 for iterators <https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html#iterators>, the example code for the iterator class Reverse has the iterator self.index defined only in the __init__. This approach will only allow the iterator to run once. Would it be better to show an example with the index defined as both a private field (self._index) and with the index value being populated in the __index__() function so that the method can be run more than once? I think that the code example should look like the following: class Reverse: """Iterator for looping over a sequence backwards.""" def __init__(self, data): self.data = data def __iter__(self): # Define the setup for the iteration here, # so that the index is always right when the iteration starts. self._index = len(self.data) return self def __next__(self): if self._index == 0: raise StopIteration self._index = self._index - 1 return self.data[self._index] ############################### *Bug 2:* I received errors when trying to confirm my registration for the bug tracker at bugs.python.org. I submitted the registration form, and immediately received the autogenerated registration confirmation email with the following title: Complete your registration to Python tracker -- key 6w7gUOVw7AR13ZivbxaDIWedYuNlsiwc - send a reply to rep...@bugs.python.org and maintain the subject line as is (the reply's additional "Re:" is ok), - or visit the following URL: https://bugs.python.org/?@action=confrego&otk=6w7gUOVw7AR13ZivbxaDIWedYuNlsiwc When I visit the URL, I get an error message: Invalid URL scheme in homepage URL [image: image.png] When I try reply-emailing to the reply-email address, I get an immediate error response: Failed issue tracker submission [image: image.png] The message header is as follows: An unexpected error occurred during the processing of your message.
