In this example below (from Thomas), the method 'iterate' is used. The function saves every amino acid of a structure to a separate file. First of all, I'm not sure of how to understand the docs:
" "iterate" iterates over an expression within a temporary namespace for each atom." What does temporary namespace for each atom mean? Also, since 'iterate' is used within the while-loop, are we only iterating over the single amino acid? Its confusing me because I constantly think of iterate as somekind of short hand notation of a for-loop, but I guess thats not it. It would be great if somebody could explain the iterate function a bit more to me. Thanks for your feedback.
