[New-bugs-announce] [issue46033] Duplicated sentence in for statement documentation

[Michał D]

New submission from Michał D <michcio1234 at gmail.com>:

In for statement description, there seem to be two sentences meant to mean the same:

> The suite is then executed once for each item provided by the iterator, in the order returned by the iterator. Each item in turn is assigned to the target list using the standard rules for assignments (see Assignment statements), and then the suite is executed.

(from https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#the-for-statement)

I believe only one of these sentences should be kept (probably the second one).

If I am wrong, and the current version is actually correct, then it is unclear - to me it sounds like the iterator is iterated through twice, and suite is executed twice for each item.
