Iterating Through Strings in Python

To iterate over a string in Python, obtaining each character in a loop, employ the straightforward for loop construct:

for c in "string":
    # Perform actions on c

Additionally, you can iterate through other objects in Python:

• Files: Open a file and iterate over its lines:

with open(filename) as f:
    for line in f:
        # Operate on line

This may appear enigmatic but follows a simple protocol.

Creating Your Own Iterable Objects

To make your own iterables, define an iterator with a next() method and implement an __iter__ method on a class to enable iteration. The __iter__ method returns an iterator object with a next() method.
