Sure, easily: a loop like "for x in y:" binds an unnamed temporary variable (say _t) to iter(y) and then repeatedly calls _t.next() [or to be pedantic type(_t).next(t)] until that raises StopIteration. Calling a generator, such as this next method, returns an iterator object; calling it repeatedly returns many such iterator objects, and never raises StopIteration, thus obviously producing an unending loop.
