If I have an enumerate object x, why does doing the following:
dict(x)
clear all the items in the enumerate sequence?
回答1:
enumerate creates an iterator. A iterator is a python object that only knows about the current item of a sequence and how to get the next, but there is no way to restart it. Therefore, once you have used a iterator in a loop, it cannot give you any more items and appears to be empty.
If you want to create a real sequence from a iterator you can call list on it.
stuff = range(5,0,-1)
it = enumerate(stuff)
print dict(it), dict(it) # first consumes all items, so there are none left for the 2nd call
seq = list(enumerate(stuff)) # creates a list of all the items
print dict(seq), dict(seq) # you can use it as often as you want
