for iteration

[Franck Bui-Huu]

Thanks for your example but I haven't found __iter__ method in list type:

 >>> dir(list)
['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', '__delattr__', '__delitem__', 
'__delsli
ce__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getitem__', 
'__gets
lice__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__iadd__', '__imul__', '__init__', 
'__le__', '__
len__', '__lt__', '__mul__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', 
'__repr__', '__r
mul__', '__setattr__', '__setitem__', '__setslice__', '__str__', 
'append', 'coun
t', 'extend', 'index', 'insert', 'pop', 'remove', 'reverse', 'sort']
 >>>

Do you know why ?
