New methods on the iterator would do the trick. I had suggested
currval and nextval or similar - two or three simple methods would
increase the versatility of the Iterator class for a variety of things.
Is there interest in adding new methods to ZTUtils to expose these
values? It seems to

Well, Iterator ain't that ;-)
I guess something like that but that is what an iterator does.
Why makes you think ZTUtils Iterators were designed for this?
Well, by hand is not the solution either.

Versatility is the beautiful thing about python - it rarely matters to

Hi Chris
I guess something like that but that is what an iterator does. ZTUtils
just doesn't provide a method to get the values out of it (which it
could if the methods were available).

Hi Chris. Thanks for your reply.
My understanding (which may be flawed) is that ZTUtils iterator provides
values of a sequence as you iterate over them with a repeat statement.
I believe what I am trying to do is sensible. I
