| itertools.repeat and itertools.count could be made into indexable iterables (rather than iterators), rather than iterators, like range is right now. | ||

| well, they wouldn't and shouldn't behave like range. range is a sequence whereas count or repeat wouldn't necessarily be sequences. (they can be infinite and thus not having length). And the count shouldn't be *reiterable* because that is why it exists (otherwise we could just use range). For repeat, indexing hardly matters. | ||

| I agree with Antti. If Raymond disagrees he can reopen :) (There is a reason it is called *iter*tools. As Antti says, range is documented as being a *sequence* type.) |
