That's great. I've tweaked it for py3k, and it all seems to be working.

 I committed a slightly different form with a more explicit comment,

Sounds like a good plan.

In the future, while we will *try* to not re-introduce things that you

OK, that's great. At present, my strategy is to have one branch with the
results of running 2to3 on trunk, which I merge into the branch containing
my changes (now renamed to ipython-py3k).

Yes, I've really just gone for best practices 2.6 code, which mostly
converts neatly. Using iter* methods is tidier, but not essential; without
them, 2to3 just wraps the method call in a list(...) to get the equivalent
behaviour.

Thanks,
Thomas
