Since you mention the next() *method*: in Python 3, the iterator
protocol changed slightly. Previously, the protocol demanded that a
Python iterator have a .next() method which was invoked by the protocol
or by the next() builtin function. In Python 3, the iterator has a
.__next__() method instead. Otherwise, the protocol works as before:
"for x in iterable:" works as expected, and the next() builtin invokes
".__next__()" rather than ".next()"
