This is exactly why the iterator protocol method should be named __next__: so it can't collide with method names used for other purposes. The translator will be imperfect, and probably will need some guidance to do its work correctly. But the problem you point out here is an issue primarily with the language, not the translator, and Python 3.0 is a good opportunity for incompatible changes like this that will future-proof the language. -- ?!ng _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
