we should have both functions, they are both useful

I could easily generate bindings for C#, Java, Python, Perl etc.

For python I need to implement iterators.

in ruby I can do object.each_something do |foo| { do something with foo } and 
in the bindings  can get foos in real time, without needeing to have a 
preallocated list of foos. The each function calculate them and send them to 
the block passed. This s useful when you don't have the list to iterate, and 
you figure it at run time.

Python does not have this cool thing, they have iterators, and I searched on 
how to implement an iterator from C and the level of documentation seems to 
be very bad.
