I first learned the ``for chunk in iter(lambda: sock.recv(N), b'')`` trick from page 138 of Dave Beazley’s fantastic Python Cookbook (“4.16. Replacing Infinite while Loops with an Iterator”), and never looked back.
When I started to play with consuming sockets asynchronously, it occurred to me that it would be nice if we could write an async version of this, as in ``async for chunk in aiter(...)``. Is anyone working on adding that to Python, or at least interested too? Thanks, Josh
