what are sequences?

slicing → ranges

shallow vs deep copy

the sequence protocol

implementing our own sequence types

list comprehensions → closures

sorting → sort key functions


Iterables and Iterators

more general than sequence types

differences between iterables and iterators

lazy vs eager iterables

the iterable protocol

the iterator protocol

writing our own custom iterables and iterators


Generators
what are generator?

generator functions

generator expressions

the yield statement

the yield from statement

how generators are related to iterators


Iteration Tools

Many useful tools for functional approach to iteration → built-in


→ itertools module

Aggregators → functools module

the context manager protocol

why are they so useful?

creating custom context managers using the context manager protocol

creating custom context managers using generator functions
