It is a little but odd. But at least in 2.3.4:
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Feb 2 2005, 12:11:53)
[GCC 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> a = iter('hi there')
>>> a
<iterator object at 0xb7c7f8ec>
>>> print [x for x in a]
['h', 'i', ' ', 't', 'h', 'e', 'r', 'e']
>>>
So it looks like the iter is still there, but comes from some older
layer of the implementation.
