<p>Python provides two general-purpose iterator objects.  The first, a sequence
iterator, works with an arbitrary sequence supporting the <a title="object.__getitem__" class="reference external" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__getitem__"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">__getitem__()</span></tt></a>
method.  The second works with a callable object and a sentinel value, calling
the callable for each item in the sequence, and ending the iteration when the
sentinel value is returned.</p>
