another trick has been suggested. For hidden iterator objects, such as stringiter, to actually put them in the "types" module. in there, we could do something like: #types.py stringiter = iter('').__class__ and we would then change the name of the iterator in c to be "types.stringiter". How does that sound? It _does_ make it necessary for the types module to be there to help with pickling. The _proper_ fix would be for e.g. stringiter to live in builtins, next to 'str' that it is iterating over. Any thoughts?
