Interpret "for i in n" as "for i in range(n)" if n is an int

[storchaka (Serhiy Storchaka)]

One of neigboring topics is about defining len() for integer as returning the number of digits:

Add int.__length__ method

num = 0 def len(int): while int> 0: int = int//10 num = num+1 return num if we enter a len(num) it gives : Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#21>", line 1, in <module> len(555) TypeError: object of type 'int' has no len() It would be an really helpful if it adds into python. What do you say…?

To be consistent with this idea, iterating an integer should produce its digits. But first we need to discuss some design details:

• Should it iterate from less significant digits to more significant digits or vice versa? Should the order be locale-dependent?
• Should it produce characters or integers?
