I am skeptical that such a note will help.  The iterator behavior is clearly 
pointed out in the Python Tutorial [1] and in the IOBase documentation [2].  I 
suspect this bad code pattern is just being copied and pasted from other 
sources without folks ever even looking at the Python documentation.
