Hi,
If I implement __len__ in my own class, does it really have to return an int?
Is there no way around this (other than modifying the source code of python
itself ;-) It would be nice if len(Example(row, col)) would return a
dictionary, or a two-tuple (see code below). The strange thing is t

In general, no.
The usual way to "reset" an iterator is to re-create it.
walker = os.walk("/home/steve/start")

The output from os.walk is a generator, which is an iterator. os.walk
actually calls itself recursively, creating a c
