Cute. For those too lazy to check:

    iter(callable, sentinel) -> iterator

    Get an iterator from an object.  In the first form, the argument
    must supply its own iterator, or be a sequence.

    In the second form, the callable is called until it returns the
    sentinel.

(I bet many, including me, haven't heard of this).

It kinda loses some of its appeal when getobject() takes arguments,
though - you'll have to go for lambda then:

for a in iter(lambda : getobject(2,"hi"), None):
