在任意迭代器对象中尝试__length_hint__()方法:

iter(...).__length_hint__() > 0

你可以使用itertools来tee迭代器。在teed迭代器上检查StopIteration。

也许只有我这么想，但虽然我喜欢https://stackoverflow.com/users/95810/alex-martelli的答案，但我发现这个更容易读:

from collections.abc import Iterator  # since python 3.3 Iterator is here

class MyIterator(Iterator):  # need to subclass Iterator rather than object
  def __init__(self, it):
    self._iter = iter(it)
    self._sentinel = object()
    self._next = next(self._iter, self._sentinel)
    
  def __iter__(self): 
    return self
  
  def __next__(self):        # __next__ vs next in python 2
    if not self.has_next():
      next(self._iter)  # raises StopIteration

    val = self._next
    self._next = next(self._iter, self._sentinel)
    return val
  
  def has_next(self):
    return self._next is not self._sentinel

为了读取所有迭代，基于处理“StopIteration”执行的解决方法非常简单:

    end_cursor = False
    while not end_cursor:
        try:
            print(cursor.next())
        except StopIteration:
            print('end loop')
            end_cursor = True
        except:
            print('other exceptions to manage')
            end_cursor = True

我相信python只有next()，根据文档，如果没有更多的元素，它就会抛出异常。

不。最类似的概念很可能是StopIteration异常。
