First time poster, long time reader.

Is it possible to iterate though an object that contains a list of objects.

For example, I have the following class

Class Page(object)

    def __init__(self, name):

        self.name = name
        self.pages = []

I then create a new Page object and add other page objects to it.

page = Page('FirstPage')

apagepage = Page('FirstChild')

anotherpagepage = Page('SecondChild')

apagepage.pages.append(Page('FirstChildChild'))

apagepage.pages.append(Page('SecondChildChild'))

page.pages.append(apagepage)

page.pages.append(anotherpagepage)

What I would like to do is

for thispage in page:
    print thispage.name

And get the following output

FirstPage
FirstChild
SecondChild
FirstChildChild
SecondChildChild

So I get all the 1st level, then the 2nd, then the 3rd.

However, the following output would be find as well

FirstPage
FirstChild
FirstChildChild
SecondChildChild
SecondChild
