How is a spencerator [an iterator that doesn't return itself unmodified on iter]> different than itertools.tee?
Taking your question literally, it changes the behavior of an itertools.tee object 'tee', so that iter(tee) returns tee.__copy__(), rather than tee itself.
It was created for rhetorical purposes and has no known practical application.
Depending on your point of view it is evidence either for (a) why the iterator protocol must be strictly adhered to, or (b) that iterators and iterables cannot be disjoint sets.
