Thanks. One more question is here. I see the following code snippet. 
It can run as expected. That is, zeros array is iterable, but I don't see
the iterator of it. And I do see some codes using np.nditer, but the 
following without it.


seq = [ im for im in zeros((20,240,320), int)]

1. What difference for iterate with and without np.nditer?
2. How can I know one object whether it is iterable (only by testing?)
