How do I reverse an itertools.chain object?

Question

My function creates a chain of generators:

def bar(num):
    import itertools
    some_sequence = (x*1.5 for x in range(num))
    some_other_sequence = (x*2.6 fo         


        

Answer 1

reversed only works on objects that support len and indexing. You have to first generate all results of a generator before wrapping reversed around them.

However, you could easily do this:

def bar(num):
    import itertools
    some_sequence = (x*1.5 for x in range(num, -1, -1))
    some_other_sequence = (x*2.6 for x in range(num, -1, -1))
    chained = itertools.chain(some_other_sequence, some_sequence)
    return chained
