There's a bit of a cognitive dissonance between iterables and iterators.

You're missing a key point. All (well-behaved) iterators are iterables,
with their __iter__ method returning themselves.
I don't know what I'm missing.

I remember when we used to have Bots here commenting on the Python

and/or they've gone to join the Norwegian Blue.
