Wed Jun 11 20:46:30 CEST 2014


New submission from Matt Deacalion Stevens:

https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/itertools.html#itertools.cycle

The first sentence sounds a bit ambiguous:
"Make an iterator returning elements from the iterable and saving a copy of each."

Suggestion:
"Make an iterator that returns elements from the iterable and saves a copy of each."
