Sure:

class EveryOther:
	def __init__(self, seq):
		self.seq = seq self.idx = 0
	def next(self):
		self.idx += 1
		if self.idx >= len(self.seq):
			raise StopIteration
		value = self.seq[self.idx]
		self.idx += 1
		return value
	def __iter__(self):
		return self


print [x for x in EveryOther(range(10))
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
