minus-square48954246@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 days agoAn iterable is just something that can be iterated over, like range(10), or [1, 2, 3]. A sequence on the other hand is a Collection that is reversible. https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.abc.html#collections-abstract-base-classes
