We've already got one. :-) I wrote a STL iterator for python sequences. 
It is an input iterator over any iterable python object, not just lists. 
It has not yet been part of an official Boost release, but you can find 
it in Boost main CVS at boost/python/stl_iterator.hpp. It'll be part of 
the next major release.

Hope that helps,
