be indexed. Index 0 is the item that will be returned by :func:`next`, index 1 is the item after that, and so on: The values up to the given index will be cached. >>> p = peekable(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']) >>> p[0] 'a' >>> p[1] 'b' >>> next(p) 'a' Negative indexes are supported, but be aware that they will cache the remaining items in the source iterator, which may require significant storage. To check whether a peekable is exhausted, check its truth value: >>> p = peekable(['a', 'b']) >>> if p: # peekable has items ... list(p) ['a', 'b'] >>> if not p: # peekable is exhausted ... list(p) [] c
