New submission from Antoine Pitrou:
For certain applications, you want to unpack repeatedly the same pattern. This
came in issue17618 (base85 decoding), where you want to unpack a stream of
bytes as 32-bit big-endian unsigned ints. The solution adopted in issue17618
patch (struct.Struct("!{}I")) is clearly suboptimal.
I would suggest something like a iter_unpack() function which would repeatedly
yield tuples until the bytes object is over.
