John Posner <jjpos...@optimum.net> added the comment:
Georg, your change (r79587) makes this the main definition:
generator
A function which returns an iterator.
I'm concerned that this definition does not fit well with the occurrence of
"generator object" in the following:
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79096, Mar 19 2010, 21:48:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> obj1 = (x for x in [1,2])
>>> def gfunc():
... count = 0
... while True:
... count += 1
... yield count
...
>>> obj2 = gfunc()
>>> obj1
<generator object <genexpr> at 0x00CC6378>
>>> obj2
<generator object gfunc at 0x00CC6328>
>>>
My patch attempted to make "generator" be the same as "generator object" in the
above.
