+"""
+Helper for looping over sequences, particular in templates.
+
+Often in a loop in a template it's handy to know what's next up,
+previously up, if this is the first or last item in the sequence, etc.
+These can be awkward to manage in a normal Python loop, but using the
+looper you can get a better sense of the context.  Use like::
+
+    >>> for loop, item in looper(['a', 'b', 'c']):
+    ...     print loop.number, item
+    ...     if not loop.last:
+    ...         print '---'
+    1 a
+    ---
+    2 b
+    ---
+    3 c
