[issue3689] reversed() not working as intended on lists

[Jeff Hall]

New submission from Jeff Hall <hall.jeff at gmail.com>:

reversed() built in is not functioning correctly with list (specifically
with len() )

l = [1,2,3,4]
rl = reversed(l)

type(rl)
<type 'listreverseiterator'>

vs. strings and tuples which just return 'reverse' objects

listreverseiterators apparently have a len() defined that changes with
each .next() call
