Iterator Objects¶
Python provides two general-purpose iterator objects. The first, a sequence
iterator, works with an arbitrary sequence supporting the __getitem__()
method. The second works with a callable object and a sentinel value, calling
the callable for each item in the sequence, and ending the iteration when the
sentinel value is returned.

PyTypeObject
PySeqIter_Type¶ Type object for iterator objects returned by
PySeqIter_New()and the one-argument form of theiter()built-in function for built-in sequence types.New in version 2.2.
-
int
PySeqIter_Check(op)¶ Return true if the type of op is
PySeqIter_Type.New in version 2.2.
-
PyObject*
PySeqIter_New(PyObject *seq)¶ - Return value: New reference.
Return an iterator that works with a general sequence object, seq. The iteration ends when the sequence raises
IndexErrorfor the subscripting operation.New in version 2.2.

PyTypeObject
PyCallIter_Type¶ Type object for iterator objects returned by
PyCallIter_New()and the two-argument form of theiter()built-in function.New in version 2.2.
-
int
PyCallIter_Check(op)¶ Return true if the type of op is
PyCallIter_Type.New in version 2.2.
-
PyObject*
PyCallIter_New(PyObject *callable, PyObject *sentinel)¶ - Return value: New reference.
Return a new iterator. The first parameter, callable, can be any Python callable object that can be called with no parameters; each call to it should return the next item in the iteration. When callable returns a value equal to sentinel, the iteration will be terminated.
New in version 2.2.
