Issue 1429481: For loop exit early (original) (raw)

When I run the following snippet the "for" loop exits early, not examining every item in the "lines" list. It will only print part of the list, i.e., only approximately 65% of any list I use is printed. (E.g., a list of 100 items only about 65 is printed)

If I wrap the for statement in another for statement with a range() operator it works.

I'm pretty new to scripting, so I'm sure there's a better way to do what I'm trying; but this seems like a bug.

Thanks for your help,

=========================

count = 0 lines = ["1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12","13","14","15","16"] def getnextline(): l = lines.pop() l = l.strip() return l for x in lines: count += 1 newline = "%s,%s,\n" % (getnextline(),getnextline()) print count, ":", newline

Output:

1 : 16,15,

2 : 14,13,

3 : 12,11,

4 : 10,9,

5 : 8,7,

6 : 6,5,
