[section boost/python/stl_iterator.hpp]
[section Introduction]
<boost/python/stl_iterator.hpp> provides types for creating C++ Iterators from [@http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/typeiter.html Python iterables].
[endsect]
[section Class template `stl_input_iterator`]
Instances of `stl_input_iterator<T>` hold a Python iterator and adapt it for use with STL algorithms. `stl_input_iterator<T>` satisfies the requirements for an Input Iterator.
