Title
Body
Given the piece of code: from glob import glob, iglob for fn in glob('/*'): print fn print '' for fn in iglob('/*'): print fn Reading the documentation for glob , I see that glob() returns a basic list of files and iglob an Iterator . However, I'm able to iterate over both and the same list of files is returned by each of them. I've read the documentation on Iterator , but it hasn't shed anymore light on the subject really! So what benefit does iglob() returning an Iterator provide me over the list from glob() ? Do I gain extra functionality over my old friend the lowly list?
