Thats what Iterator did in ABC though.

Well, it could be argued that testing for an Iterator is useful for a significant variety of code, while testing for a JSONSerialiazable doesn't have an use case outside of the json module itself.

Besides, it remains to be seen if anyone will use the Iterator ABC instead of directly looking up the next method. I'm not convinced that all of the ABCs bundled with the stdlib are really useful, apart from showcasing the potentialities of ABCs.

Antoine.
