iterable classes?

[tjcrowley]

Do you have any plans to make your classes iterable? For example. I'd love to be able to do

box_score = league.box_score(4)
for item in box_score:
home_roster = item.home_roster
for player in home_roster:
print player.player_name

This would be possible if you overrode iter and next in your custom classes, or am I wrong?

You can actually do those actions right now because the values returned are array of classes and you can iterate over the array.

box_score = league.box_scores(4)
for item in box_score:
   home_roster = item.home_lineup
   for player in home_roster:
     player.player_name

Making a class iterable gives you the ability to iterate over objects in a single class. Right now I do not see a huge advantage to this because most of the fields you will want to reference individually. However if there is a use case it could be something added.

I was asking because I can't seem to do this actually -- when I try I get errors like this:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/lycurgus/PycharmProjects/espn-private/./espn-poll.py", line 28, in <module> for idx,feature in box_scores: TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable BoxScore object

Could you show the exact code you are trying to use? I could help try to debug.
