Here is a list with its replies.

replies = ["As I see it, yes.", "Ask again later.", "Better not tell you now.", "Cannot predict now.", "Concentrate and ask again.", "Don't count on it.", "It is certain.", "It is decidedly so."]

Generating Uniform Variates

• strings This iterator walks through a string one character at a time in index order.
• lists and tuples Their iterators walk through one element at a time in index order.
• sets The iterator walks through the set in no particular order.
• dictionaries The iterator walks the keys of a dictionary one key at a time in no particular order.
• file objects The iterator walks through a file one line at a time.

Here are some other iterables.

• range objects
• dictionary_keys object
• dictionary_values object

We will do tons of examples.

enumerate and reversed are very handy for altering the behavior of iterators.
