Python list iterator behavior and next(iterator)

Question

Consider:

>>> lst = iter([1,2,3])
>>> next(lst)
1
>>> next(lst)
2

So, advancing the iterator is, as expected, ha

Answer 1

Something is wrong with your Python/Computer.

a = iter(list(range(10)))
for i in a:
   print(i)
   next(a)

>>> 
0
2
4
6
8

Works like expected.

Tested in Python 2.7 and in Python 3+ . Works properly in both
