英文文档：
iter(object[, sentinel])
return an iterator object. the first argument is interpreted very differently depending on the presence of the second argument. without a second argument, object must be a collection object which supports the iteration protocol (the iter() method), or it must support the sequence protocol (the getitem() method with integer arguments starting at 0). if it does not support either of those protocols, typeerror is raised. if the second argument, sentinel, is given, then object must be a callable object. the iterator created in this case will call object with no arguments for each call to its next() method; if the value returned is equal to sentinel, stopiteration will be raised, otherwise the value will be returned.
one useful application of the second form of iter() is to read lines of a file until a certain line is reached. the following example reads a file until the readline() method returns an empty string:
with open(‘mydata.txt’) as fp:
for line in iter(fp.readline, ”):
process_line(line)
说明：
1. 函数功能返回一个可迭代对象。
2. 当第二个参数不提供时，第一个参数必须是一个支持可迭代协议(即实现了iter()方法)的集合(字典、集合、不可变集合)，或者支持序列协议(即实现了getitem()方法，方法接收一个从0开始的整数参数)的序列(元组、列表、字符串)，否则将报错。
>>> a = iter({‘a’:1,’b’:2}) #字典集合
>>> a
>>> next(a)
‘a’
>>> next(a)
‘b’
>>> next(a)
traceback (most recent call last):
file “”, line 1, in
next(a)
stopiteration
>>> a = iter(‘abcd’) #字符串序列
>>> a
>>> next(a)
‘a’
>>> next(a)
‘b’
>>> next(a)
‘c’
>>> next(a)
‘d’
>>> next(a)
traceback (most recent call last):
file “”, line 1, in
next(a)
stopiteration
3. 当第二个参数sentinel提供时，第一个参数必须是一个可被调用对象。创建的迭代对象，在调用next方法的时候会调用这个可被调用对象，当返回值和sentinel值相等时，将抛出stopiteration异常， 终止迭代。
# 定义类
>>> class itertest:
def __init__(self):
self.start = 0
self.end = 10
def get_next_value(self):
current = self.start
if current < self.end:
self.start += 1
else:
raise stopiteration
return current
>>> itertest = itertest() #实例化类
>>> a = iter(itertest.get_next_value,4) # itertest.get_next_value为可调用对象，sentinel值为4
>>> a
>>> next(a)
>>> next(a)
>>> next(a)
>>> next(a)
>>> next(a) #迭代到4终止
traceback (most recent call last):
file “”, line 1, in
next(a)
stopiteration
