Still thinking and blogging about #python. There are some practices that python encourages that are ... frankly dangerous.

Turns out sometimes writing more lines of #python is better than writing fewer.

Surprised ?

@Leftsaidtim I either disagree, or don't fully understand the boggle there.

In the first example, I wonder why you'd have a `__size` or `size()` in the first place, and not just add them into `__len__`. That seems like it'd be the more Pythonic approach.

@Leftsaidtim The second example... I am not sure I see the dilemma in exposing the value directly. Seems like the `next()` could be replaced with `__next__()` to hook into existing Pythonic systems?
