https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/itertools.html#itertools.cycle The first sentence sounds a bit ambiguous: "Make an iterator returning elements from the iterable and saving a copy of each." Suggestion: "Make an iterator that returns elements from the iterable and saves a copy of each." |

I see no real difference here and AFAICT the current wording has not caused any confusion since it was written a decade ago. |

It's probably just me then. The code example is what helped me grasp `cycle`, not the explanation. |

That's why the code example is there ;-) |
