what should __iter__ return?

[ernest]

Hi,

What is better:

def __iter__(self):
    for i in len(self):
        yield self[i]

or

def __iter__(self):
    return iter([self[i] for i in range(len(self))])

The first one, I would say is more correct,
however what if in a middle of an iteration
the object changes in length? Then, the
iterator will fail with IndexError (if items
have been removed), or it will fail to iterate
over the whole sequence (if items have
been added).

What do you think?

Cheers.
