Example: Python list() function with iterable

class PythonList:
    def __init__(x, max):
        x.max = max
    
    def __iter__(x):
        x.number = 0
        return x
        
    def __next__(x):
        if(x.number >= x.max):
            raise StopIteration
        result = 3 ** x.number
        x.number += 1
        return result

PythonList = PythonList(7)
PythonListIter = iter(PythonList)
