I am -0 on changing it to call iter(). I do like the distinction from a 'for' loop and leaving an emphasis for template blocks (or blocks, or whatever hip term you crazy kids are using for these things at the moment) to use generators. As I said before, I am viewing these blocks as a construct for external control of generators, not as a snazzy 'for' loop. -Brett _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
