Worth noting: "while iterseq" only works because for this case, you have 
a list iterator, which provides a __len__ method.  This approach will 
not work when you have an iterator that does not provide a __len__ 
method.  For a nice infinite printing loop, try:

def gen():
    yield '+'*100
    yield '*'*100
output(gen())
