he source iterable progresses, so beware of wrapping very large or infinite iterables. Supply *maxlen* to limit the size of the cache (this of course limits how far back you can seek). >>> from itertools import count >>> it = seekable((str(n) for n in count()), maxlen=2) >>> next(it), next(it), next(it), next(it) ('0', '1', '2', '3') >>> list(it.elements()) ['2', '3'] >>> it.seek(0) >>> next(it), next(it), next(it), next(it) ('2', '3', '4', '5') >>> next(it) '6' Nc
