There is no way to iterate over all the reals one at a time, no matter how fast you execute instructions. If you could, it would be trivial to show that the reals have the same cardinality as the positive integers: correspond n with the whatever is returned by the nth call to it.next.
You're assuming that the calls to it.next are discrete events separated by some nonzero time interval. A decent transfinite processor would make a continuum of calls, and execute uncountably many of them in any finite period of time. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
