Actually I needed that append() method quite a lot, so maybe my solution (posted at the beginning of this thread) was not that stupid :) (to inflate my ego a bit) Anyway, this is roughly what I used it for; is it a sane use of iterators? I was looking for the Holy Grail. I had an iterator 'quest' that produced either junk that was to be thrown away, or the Holy Grail itself, or another iterator of the same kind (that had to be searched for the Holy Grail as well). The iterators were potentially infinite. The code was rougly: quest=Liter(quest) for x in quest: if is_Holy_Grail(x): share_and_enjoy(x) break elif is_another_iterator(x): quest.append(x) Best regards P. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
