For that purpose you should call the generator's close() method. This
throws a GeneratorExit into the generator to give the generator a chance of
cleanup (typically using try/finally). Various reasonable things happen if
the generator misbehaves at this point -- if you want to learn what, read
the code or experiment a bit on the command line (that's what I usually do).
