While iter is a built-in function, it would be clearer if you referenced the __builtins__ namespace. Built-in objects are linked into the interpreter, either statically or from a shared library (.so, .pyd). But the __builtins__ namespace can and does include names for non-built-in objects (e.g. help and exit). The important point in this context is that iter is in the builtins module, not that it's a built-in function. There are lots of built-in objects that aren't in builtins. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
