Function Details: aiter
Description
Returns an AsyncIterator for an AsyncIterable object.
Extended Description
The aiter() function is used to obtain an asynchronous iterator from an asynchronous iterable. It's particularly useful in asynchronous programming contexts, such as coroutines and async generators. This function is the asynchronous counterpart to the iter() function used for synchronous iterables.
Exceptions
- TypeError: If the argument is not an async iterable (doesn't implement __aiter__())

Function Signature
aiter(async_iterable: AsyncIterable) -> AsyncIterator
Module: builtins
Parameters
This function takes one parameter: async_iterable (an AsyncIterable object). This can be any object that implements the __aiter__() method.
Parameter List
- async_iterable: AsyncIterable
Return
Returns an AsyncIterator object that can be used in an 'async for' loop.
Return Type
AsyncIterator
Output
Explanation
This example demonstrates how to use aiter() with an async generator. The async generator yields values with a small delay, and we use aiter() to create an async iterator that we can use in an async for loop.
