I agree with Jeremy.  I wasn't keenly interested in python iterators from
the get-go (you can't follow everything), so I missed all the discussion
until PEP 255 was released.  Then within a day or two it winds up in the
head branch of CVS.  That's not to say it doesn't deserve to be there, but
it seems thtat the time from PEP to CVS was rather short.
