anext() — Advanced Examples

Retrieves the next item from an async iterator

anext() protocol implementation

Implementing the protocol that anext() uses under the hood.

python

# anext() - implementing the protocol
class Custom:
    def __anext__(self):
        return "custom result"

obj = Custom()
print(anext(obj))

Understanding the dunder methods that anext() calls helps you customize behavior for your own classes.

Handling unusual inputs and edge cases.

python

# anext() edge cases
print("Edge case handling for anext()")

# Type checking
print(type(42))

Knowing these edge cases prevents subtle bugs in production.
