  For backward compatibility and convenience, an iterator is
  automatically constructed for sequences that don't implement
! \method{__iter__()} or a \code{tp_iter} slot, so \code{for i in
  [1,2,3]} will still work.  Wherever the Python interpreter loops over
  a sequence, it's been changed to use the iterator protocol.  This

  \keyword{return} statement is that on reaching a \keyword{yield} the
  generator's state of execution is suspended and local variables are
! preserved.  On the next call to the generator's \code{.next()} method,
  the function will resume executing immediately after the
  \keyword{yield} statement.  (For complicated reasons, the
  \keyword{yield} statement isn't allowed inside the \keyword{try} block
! of a \code{try...finally} statement; read \pep{255} for a full
  explanation of the interaction between \keyword{yield} and
  exceptions.)

  \item Classes can define methods called \method{__truediv__} and

  so extension types can define the two operators.

    introduced in Python 2.1 to provide interactive help.
    \code{help(\var{object})} displays any available help text about
!   \var{object}.  \code{help()} with no argument puts you in an online
    help utility, where you can enter the names of functions, classes,
    or modules to read their help text.
