Raymond Hettinger added the comment: Essentially, the only argument for reverting this is breaking compatibility with 2.6.0 and 2.6.1. But, in the process, reverting it means breaking compatibility with 2.6.2. Since the cat is already out of the bag for 2.6.2, I think the bugfix ought to be le

Mark Dickinson added the comment: Is there a 2.6 release imminent? I thought I saw some discussion of a 2.6.3 release, but I'm not sure what the eventual decision was. If so, perhaps this change could be quickly reverted in the release26-maint branch? -- nosy: +marketdickinson

Christof added the comment: A compatibility break in a minor bugfix version is never a good idea I guess. I understand the reasoning but this change may break quite a few packages (at least it broke mine). A workaround in programs is easy but for already released and deployed versions simply not

Raymond Hettinger added the comment: It's up to you guys. I had thought to change it only for Py2.7 but Guido probably considers it to be a bug, so possibly the backport was justified. -- assignee: rhettinger -> status: closed -> open ___ Python tr

Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Uh, perhaps the behaviour wasn't optimal but breaking compatibility between two bugfix releases isn't developer-friendly either. While we could keep it in trunk, it sounds like the change should be reverted in 2.6. The backport to 2.6 was done by Georg in r6756

New submission from seesee : It seems python 2.6.2 (at least under Windows, I have not tested other platforms) does break the len function on the reversed iterator: Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 21 2008, 13:11:45) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "licen
