[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 18/41] glapi: gl_XML.py: use python's iter() function rather than calling __iter__

[Dylan Baker]

Python has what are often referred to as "magic methods". __iter__,
__str__, __add__, and countless more. All of these methods exist to be
called by another function or by an operator. The __add__ method
implements the + operator, for example.

There are times to call the magic methods directly, but usually that's
in cases where an implementation needs to call it's parent's method.
Instead it's best to use the function or operator that the magic method
implements.

This makes the code cleaner, more idiomatic, and just a bit nicer to
read.
