I looked a bit more and the reason file objects have next() in Py2 is because "A file object is its own iterator" ( https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#file.next ). This is still the case in Py3 - "IOBase (and its subclasses) supports the iterator protocol" ( https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.IOBase ).
So yes there is a disparity in Django's File. After a quick look at the code I'm not sure if it's possible to modify it to match though because of all the logic embedded in __iter__ but it's worth having a try.
