PEP 322: Reverse Iteration (REVISED, please comment)

[Werner Schiendl]

Hi,

was it considered to name the function just "reverse"?

This would read very naturally to me:

for elem in reverse(seq):
     print elem


Also if you use it in function calls it looks good to me:

x = dostuff(reverse(seq), a, b)


Another possibility would be to have a static method for iter:

for elem in iter.reversed(sed):
     print elem

(in that case I'd use an attribute rather than a verb, because
  the generated iter(ator) will be reverse_d_).

The static method approach would clearly document that the
result is an iterator (which none of the other names proposed
really does IMHO)


In general, I'm +1 on the PEP

Werner
