Description

**Description of the false positive**

The loop object is expected to be an iterable. The code actually calls `iter()` on it before the loop to enforce that. I'm not sure why the analysis thought it might not be.

maybe related to #1833? different repro though.

thanks for all your work on LGTM and QL, they're both great!
