I answered both your explicit and implied questions in good faith. But you seem to be too attached to your pre-judgment to have benefited much, so I won't waste my time and yours saying more. Instead I suggest that you try this: 1. Write a specification for your an alternate, more complicated, iterator protocol. 2. Write a simple class with .next method that implements your specification. 3. Test your class with your example. 4. Consider how you would persuade people to add the extra machinery needed. 5. Consider what you would do when people don't. If you want, post a report on your experiment, and I will read it if I see it. Terry Jan Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
