359- An object capable of returning its members one at a
360- time. Examples of iterables include all sequence types (such as
361- :class: ` list `, :class: ` str `, and :class: `tuple `) and some non-sequence
362- types like :class: ` dict ` and :class: ` file ` and objects of any classes you
363- define with an :meth: `__iter__ ` or :meth: `__getitem__ ` method. Iterables
364- can be used in a :keyword: `for ` loop and in many other places where a
365- sequence is needed (:func: `zip `, :func: `map `, ...). When an iterable
366- object is passed as an argument to the built-in function :func: `iter `, it
367- returns an iterator for the object. This iterator is good for one pass
