http://docs.python.org/dev/lib/typeiter.html

That page describes the same two categories you do, but doesn't actually 
use the word 'iterable' for the first category (i.e. anything with an 
__iter__ method).

So, yes, I think updating the docs to use the common terminology for 
both categories would be a good thing.

Cheers,
