The reasoning I followed was, data is an "Iterable" (a collection) and you get an "Iterator" by passing via iter(). And you send the items by looping over the iterator. Honestly, I am not sure if iter is needed here too. I thought it was not needed too, when you determine it is an Iterable and iterate over it using the for loop. But I kept the iter() method just to create an instance and send it. Antoine, which would be the correct/ better? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3243> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
