Why would you want that? Seems like a corner case at best.

class DataStructure(object):
def __init__(self):
self._numbers = range(10);
self._names = [ str(x) for x in range(10) ];
names = property(lambda self: iter(self._names))
numbers = property(lambda self: iter(self._numbers))
x = DataStructure();
for y in x.names:
print repr(y),
print
for y in x.numbers:
print repr(y),
[Y'know, Python is great. That worked the first time I ran it.]
