Added a new iterator method for retrieving combined shapes and records

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I am using a larger SHP file and was unsatisfied with the performance of
'shapeRecords' method in the Reader class so I created a new method called 
'iterShapeRecords' which is an iterator backed version of 'shapeRecords'. 

Please see the attached patch and consider including this new method for others 
to use in a future version.

pyshp 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 64bit, Python 2.7+

What a coincident! I was just about to post the exact same suggestion when I 
read your issue suggestion. Full support on this idea and hope it makes it into 
the next version.

In the meanwhile, I actually just created a new fork of the PyShp library (see 
link below) where I added several new features, one of which is the suggested 
iterShapeRecords method (though slightly different from your code it is the 
same idea).
