To make the subset relationships clear in the iterable entry, perhaps replace See also iterator, sequence, and generator. with Some iterables are iterators and some iterators are generators. Some iterables are sequences. For details, see iterator, sequence, and generator. I see that 'generator' is currently used in the 3.3.1 glossary for 'generator function' and there is no entry for generator (object) proper. I thought that had been fixed after pydev discussion.
