just for fun: make a class (not its instances) iterable

[Gelonida N]

Hi,

I am just curious. There  is no real use case:

If I have a class and I want that its instances are iterable I can just
add a class metohod named __iter__()


example:

class MyClass(object):
        def __iter__(self):
                for val in range(10):
                        yield val


this allows me to do:
myobj = MyClass()
for val in myobj:
        print val


Now I wondered whether there is any way to  implement a class such, that
I can write


for val in MyClass:
        print val

I know I can implement  a classmethod (e.g myclassmethod() ) and write:

for val in MyClass.myclassmethod():
        print val

but I wondered whether classed can be made iterable

Thanks in advance for your answers.
