      extends PyObject
      implements Traverseproc

  PyDeque - This class implements the functionalities of Deque data structure. Deques are a generalization of stacks and queues (the name is pronounced 'deck' and is short for 'double-ended queue'). Deques support thread-safe, memory efficient appends and pops from either side of the deque with approximately the same O(1) performance in either direction. Though list objects support similar operations, they are optimized for fast fixed-length operations and incur O(n) memory movement costs for pop(0) and insert(0, v) operations which change both the size and position of the underlying data representation. collections.deque([iterable[, maxlen]]) - returns a new deque object initialized left-to-right (using append()) with data from iterable. If iterable is not specified, the new deque is empty. If maxlen is not specified or is None, deques may grow to an arbitrary length. Otherwise, the deque is bounded to the specified maximum length. Once a bounded length deque is full, when new items are added, a corresponding number of items are discarded from the opposite end.

      Equivalent to the standard Python __delitem__ method.
      Overrides:
        `__delitem__` in class `PyObject`

    - #### __iter__

          public PyObject __iter__()

      Description copied from class: `PyObject`
      Return an iterator that is used to iterate the element of this sequence. From version 2.2, this method is the primary protocol for looping over sequences.

      If a PyObject subclass should support iteration based in the __finditem__() method, it must supply an implementation of __iter__() like this:

           public PyObject __iter__() {
               return new PySequenceIter(this);
           }

      When iterating over a python sequence from java code, it should be done with code like this:

           for (PyObject item : seq.asIterable()) {
               // Do somting with item
           }
