Hi,

here is the first shot to provide a faster means of retrieving an arbitrary 
element from a set without removing it.

The times for 

=========================
from timeit import *

stat1 = "for i in xrange(100): iter(s).next()"
stat2 = "for i in xrange(100): s.get()"

for stat in [stat1, stat2]:
    t = Timer(stat, setup="s=set(range(10000))")       # outside the 
try/except
    try:
        print t.timeit(number=1000) 
    except:
        t.print_exc()
=========================

are 

stat1: 0.0451760292053
stat2: 0.0148510932922

The patch is attached. Feel free to criticize.

I would love to see something like that in the standard Python interpreter.

Regards,
wr
