It is not easy to avoid reference cycles if use a generator function. And generator function is much faster than an implementation as a class with the __next__ method. We need to access the iterator object from the code of the generator function, and this creates a cycle. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35502> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
