collections.Iterator You don't actually need abc's to write custom iterators, BTW, the following is an iterator for instance. class Noise: def __iter__(self): return self def __next__(self): return random.random() which is equivalent to the generator def Noise(): while True: yield random.random() Carl Banks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
