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.
|
|
|
|
>>> chars = list(Rev('Hello World!'))
|
|
>>> print ''.join(chars)
|
|
!dlroW olleH
|
|
|
|
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 ? )

>>> nnn = range(3)
|
|
>>> rnn = Rev(nnn)
|

>>> for n in rnn: print n
