I just found out about that recently too. help(iter) shows this: Help on built-in function iter in module __builtin__: iter(...) iter(collection) -> iterator iter(callable, sentinel) -> iterator Get an iterator from an object. In the first form, the argument must supply its own iterator, or be a sequence. In the second form, the callable is called until it returns the sentinel. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
