Binary Tree Preorder Traversal

Given a binary tree, return the preorder traversal of its nodes' values.

For example: Given binary tree {1,#,2,3},

   1
    \
     2
    /
   3

return [1,2,3].

Note: Recursive solution is trivial, could you do it iteratively?

# Definition for a binary tree node.
# class TreeNode(object):
#     def __init__(self, x):
#         self.val = x
#         self.left = None
#         self.right = None

class Solution(object):
    def preorderTraversal(self, root):
        """
        :type root: TreeNode
        :rtype: List[int]
        """
        stack, res = [], []
        while root or stack:
            if root:
                res += root.val,
                stack += root,
                root = root.left
            else:
                root = stack.pop().right
        return res
