Python's nameless functions are week. So it supports iterators
and generators using protocols, comprehensions and a few simple
statements, rather than promoting the use of nameless functions.

Ruby's

  some_list.each do |item|
  puts item
  end

if I understood it correctly, In Python would be:

  for item in some_list:
    print item

That works for any object that supports the iterator protocol.
