That's why I said I wanted a better iter, not some equality-overriding object strawman thing. I was thinking more like this: for profile_id in iter(None)(client.spop, "profile_ids"): or alternatively: for profile_id in iter(bool)(client.spop, "profile_ids"): Or perhaps either as keyword arguments (which is the only reason I curried iter). The interesting case for in-place assignment is not here. This is a trivial case. It's in cases like this: while True: x = foo(bar()) if x is None: break if x % 2 == 0: break print x Imagine doing that with iter. :) -- Devin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
