Yes, I'm not sure whether list comprehension produces an iter object but this should also be included.

Lists are iterable but they also have a length, which is not accessible through the iterator: from a general iterator there is no way of knowing in advance how many items it will return. This may be a problem if you want to allocate memory for the values. -- Timo Korvola <URL:http://www.iki.fi/tkorvola>
