sure, that's expected. MoveNext() is a method defined for the
IEnumerator interface, not for IEnumerable.
Moreover, I just realized that there is a discrepancy between .NET's
MoveNext() and Python's next() methods: the former only advances the
iterator without returning the current object, while the latter both
advances the iterator and returns the current objects; also, we should
throw StopIterationError when we reach the end of the iterator. In other
words, next() should be implemented this way:
def next(self):
if not self.MoveNext():
raise StopIterationError
return self.get_Current()
To summarize:
- for classes implementing IEnumerable: you should map __iter__ to
GetEnumerator
- for classes implementing IEnumerator: you should add a next()
method like the one above, and add an __iter__ that returns self.

could you check in a failing test please?

this is also a good solution; you should remind to return
CS.get_Current() at the end of next().
One thing I don't understand: what is CS?
