    Make an iterator that returns consecutive integers starting with *n*. If not
-   specified *n* defaults to zero.   Does not currently support python long
-   integers.  Often used as an argument to :func:`imap` to generate consecutive
-   data points. Also, used with :func:`izip` to add sequence numbers.  Equivalent

-   Note, :func:`count` does not check for overflow and will return negative numbers
-   after exceeding ``sys.maxint``.  This behavior may change in the future.
