Or since there's already a tp_iter slot that does that in files these
days:

for line in inputFile:
	#do stuff

I'm on the side of the argument that says more interators/generators
than 'funny' looping constructs. Most if not all of the examples I've
seen so far could be written with a generator/iterator to good
effect. It's higher level and clearer code; more Pythonic IMHO.
