## Module twisted.flow.wrap

flow.wrap

This module provides the wrap() function in the flow module and the private classes used for its implementation.

Classes
`_Deferred` | Wraps a Deferred object into a stage; create with flow.wrap
`_DeferredInstruction` |
`_Iterable` | Wrapper for iterable objects, pass in a next() function
`_List` | Wrapper for lists and tuple objects; don't create directly
`_String` | Wrapper for a string object; don't create directly use flow.wrap

Function Summary
| ``wrap`(obj, *trap)` Wraps various objects for use within a flow The following example illustrates many different ways in which regular objects can be wrapped by the flow module to behave in a cooperative manner.

Function Details

### wrap(obj, *trap)
    Wraps various objects for use within a flow

    The following example illustrates many different
    ways in which regular objects can be wrapped by
    the flow module to behave in a cooperative manner.
