Can you expand that explanation a bit? I'm not certain what you mean. I'm
just trusting what the user passes in; maybe the user should pass it
iter(generator) when it's a "reiterable"? (Honest question.) 

What definition of "re-iterable" are you using? (A quick google for
"Python reiterabile" just turns up some Python dev list entries from 2003.)
