The original post seems to have been eaten, so I'm replying via a reply.
Sorry for breaking threading.

it = iter(mylist)
while True:
print it.next()
but that will eventually end with an exception. Better to let Python
handle that for you:
it = iter(mylist)
for current in it:
print current
Actually, since mylist is already iterable, you could just do this:
for current in mylist:
print current
but you probably know that already.
