Yeah, that should do it.  But this is so much easier to get right and
to understand:

import itertools

class Ints(object):

    def __init__(self):
        self.ints = itertools.count()
        self.queue = []

    def __iter__(self):
        return self

    def next(self):
        if self.queue:
            return self.queue.pop(0)
        else:
            return self.ints.next()

    def insert(self, x):
        self.queue.append(x)
