Collection is defined like Iterable but actually isn’t

      If you define {{_iter}} python considers the object is {{Iterable}}. If you define it why {{next_}} raise an error? and why alias to Collection.{{next()}} if it will do nothing? I dont understand.

       

      Minimal example:

      from typing import Iterable
      
      import pymongo
      
      mongo_client = pymongo.MongoClient("localhost", 27017)
      db = mongo_client.database_1
      
      print(db.user)
      print(f'Is iterable -> {isinstance(db.user, Iterable)}')
      
      try:
          print(list(db.user))
      except Exception as e:
          print(e)
      
      try:
          print(next(db.user))
      except Exception as e:
          print(e)
      
      try:
          print(db.user.next())
      except Exception as e:
          print(e)
      

      {{}}

       

      Output:

       

      Collection(Database(MongoClient(host=['localhost:27017'], document_class=dict, tz_aware=False, connect=True), 'database_1'), 'user')
      Is iterable -> True
      'Collection' object is not iterable
      'Collection' object is not iterable
      'Collection' object is not iterable
