Applying :func:`iter` to a dictionary always loops over the keys, but
dictionaries have methods that return other iterators. If you want to iterate
over values or key/value pairs, you can explicitly call the

The :func:`dict` constructor can accept an iterator that returns a finite stream
of ``(key, value)`` tuples:
>>> L = [('Italy', 'Rome'), ('France', 'Paris'), ('US', 'Washington DC')]
- >>> dict(iter(L)) #doctest: +SKIP

{'Italy': 'Rome', 'US': 'Washington DC', 'France': 'Paris'}
Files also support iteration by calling the :meth:`~io.TextIOBase.readline`
