That's interrupting the for loop, not the iterator. This is the test case
you want for the problem Jason raised:
>>> "a" in itertools.count()
Be prepared to suspend and terminate the affected process, because Ctrl-C
isn't going to help :)
I'm writing from my phone now, cause I was dumb enough to try list(count())
But should it be fixed in list or in count?
