Status: Closed Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Guido van Rossum (gvanrossum) Assigned to: Tim Peters (timone) Summary: iter() over non-sequence message

Initial Comment: Effbot writes:

maybe it's just me, but I just spent five minutes trying to figure out why an innocent-looking line of code resulted in an "iter() of non-sequence" type error.

I finally ran it under 2.1, and immediately realized what was wrong.

is there any chance of getting the old, far more helpful "unpack non-sequence" and "loop over non-sequence" error messages back before 2.2 final?

Closing as Fixed, because I restored "unpack non-sequence" was some time ago, and the generic msg was changed to "iteration over non-sequence" at the same time.
