The documentation does state: these are used to allow user-defined classes to support iteration although the rest of it only refers to objects. It seems to me CPython is being a bit too picky here. Why should it care if the method is a class method or an object method? Anyway, that leaves the clever iterator trick out of No-Buzzword Python.
