+\subsection{Iterator Objects \label{iterator-objects}}
+
+Python provides two general-purpose iterator objects. The first, a
+sequence iterator, works with an arbitrary sequence supporting the
+\method{__getitem__()} method. The second works with a callable
+object and a sentinel value, calling the callable for each item in the
+sequence, and ending the iteration when the sentinel value is
+returned.
