This seems wrong: >>> a = [] >>> b = iter(['c', 'd']) >>> a += b >>> c = [] >>> c + iter(['d', 'e']) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "listiterator") to list In other words, if iadd can deal with it, why can't add?

This seems wrong:

>>> a = []
>>> b = iter(['c', 'd'])
>>> a += b
>>> c = []
>>> c + iter(['d', 'e'])
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "listiterator") to list

In other words, if iadd can deal with it, why can't add?
