# A class which presents the reverse of a sequence without duplicating it.
|
|
# From: "Steven D. Majewski" <sdm7g@elvis.med.virginia.edu>
|
|
|
|
# It works on mutable or inmutable sequences.
|

|
|
# >>> for c in Rev( 'Hello World!' ) : sys.stdout.write( c )
|
|
# ... else: sys.stdout.write( '\n' )

|
|
# The .forw is so you can use anonymous sequences in __init__, and still
|
|
# keep a reference the forward sequence. )
|
|
# If you give it a non-anonymous mutable sequence, the reverse sequence
|
|
# will track the updated values. ( but not reassignment! - another
|
|
# good reason to use anonymous values in creating the sequence to avoid
|
|
# confusion. Maybe it should be change to copy input sequence to break
|
|
# the connection completely ? )
