I need to get up to speed on iterators. I learned python 1.5~ via Alan G's book ... For an example, I've written a subclass of dict where keys are kept in a ordered fashion is a list called __keys:
#Here is my items function: def items(self): """ Return all pairs in order of addition""" return [(key,self.__dict[key]) for key in self.__keys] #And here is my iteritems function (currently does exactly the same thing) def iteritems(self): """ At this implementation, does exactly the same thing as method items()""" for key in self.__keys: yield (key,self.__dict[key]) I would welcome examples, comments, or pointers to docs that illustrate how I may use iteritems to extend functionality for this class. NOTE: An important thing about this class, is that iteration thru members must be done in the same manner in which key/value pairs were added. I'm currently using Python 2.3.4 on both workstation and internet servers and must keep backward compatible to that venue.
