Can one get "for x in y" to work for non builtin classes?

Hi
I'm making a kind of ordered dictionary class. It is not exactly a
dictionary, but it uses a list and dictionary to store the data.
Something like:
class dbase(list):
'''Database class keeping track of the order and data'''
def __init__(self):
self.__data = {}
self.__order = []
self.__uniq_id = 0
I'm just wondering if it is possible to get my class to work so that if
one do:
d=dbase()
d.append("Data")
d.append([1,2])
one can do like this to iterate over the data.
for x in d:
...
I'm looking at the list class but I don't quite understand from pydoc
which __ __ methods I have to implement to get the above to work.
Thanks in advance
