How to iterate a sequence, with skipping the first item?

[ray]

A container object provides a method that returns an iterator object.
I need to iterate the sequence with that iterator, but need to skip
the first item. I can only iterate the whole sequence with:
for x in container.iterChildren():
How to skip the first item? It seems that it's a simple question.
Could somebody help me? Thanks.
