<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
<p><code>&lt;boost/python/stl_iterator.hpp&gt;</code> provides types
for creating <a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Iterators.html">C++
Iterators</a> from <a href="http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/typeiter.html">
Python iterables</a>.</p>

<h3><a name="stl_input_iterator-spec"></a>Class Template
<code>stl_input_iterator</code></h3>
<p>Instances of <code>stl_input_iterator&lt;T&gt;</code> hold a Python
iterator and adapt it for use with STL algorithms.
<code>stl_input_iterator&lt;T&gt;</code> satisfies the requirements for
an <a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/InputIterator.html">Input Iterator</a>.

<pre>
stl_input_iterator()
</pre>
<dl class="function-semantics">
<dt><b>Effects:</b>
Creates a past-the-end input iterator, useful for signifying the end of a sequence.
</dt>
<dt><b>Postconditions:</b> <code>this</code> is past-the-end.</dt>
<dt><b>Throws:</b> Nothing.</dt>
</dl>
<pre>
stl_input_iterator(object const&amp; ob)
</pre>
<dl class="function-semantics">
<dt><b>Effects:</b>
Calls <code>ob.attr("__iter__")()</code> and stores the resulting Python iterator
object in <code>this-&gt;it</code>. Then, calls <code>this-&gt;it.attr("next")()</code> and
stores the result in <code>this-&gt;ob</code>. If the sequence is exhausted, sets
<code>this-&gt;ob</code> to <code>object()</code>.
