I agree with Lennart: "chr", and "it depends".

I disagree with Lennart: the next() *method* does not exist in Python 3.3:

>>> x=iter("foo")
>>> x.next()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'str_iterator' object has no attribute 'next'

The next() *function* exists in both versions, and has the same behavior.
