"An object capable of returning its members one at a time. Examples of "
"iterables include all sequence types (such as :class:`list`, :class:`str`, "
"and :class:`tuple`) and some non-sequence types like :class:`dict`, :term:"
"`file objects <file object>`, and objects of any classes you define with an :"
"meth:`__iter__` method or with a :meth:`__getitem__` method that implements :"
"term:`Sequence` semantics."

"Iterables can be used in a :keyword:`for` loop and in many other places "
"where a sequence is needed (:func:`zip`, :func:`map`, ...). When an "
"iterable object is passed as an argument to the built-in function :func:"
"`iter`, it returns an iterator for the object. This iterator is good for "
"one pass over the set of values. When using iterables, it is usually not "
"necessary to call :func:`iter` or deal with iterator objects yourself. The "
"``for`` statement does that automatically for you, creating a temporary "
"unnamed variable to hold the iterator for the duration of the loop. See "
"also :term:`iterator`, :term:`sequence`, and :term:`generator`."
