Indeed. Directly calling __special_methods__ should be avoided. That one is a better idiom. Works for python2.4 and 2.5 also. In python3, this should be used instead: >>> b = iter(a) >>> c = next(b) (btw, I love the new sentinel argument for the next function in python3!) -- Luis Zarrabeitia Facultad de Matemática y Computación, UH http://profesores.matcom.uh.cu/~kyrie Participe en Universidad 2010, del 8 al 12 de febrero de 2010 La Habana, Cuba http://www.universidad2010.cu -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
