In this particular case you can fix the code:
def read_multiple(*filenames):
for filename in filenames:
with open(filename) as f:
result = f.read()
yield result
Of course if you used readline() and not read() the problem returns.
But so long as you do not leak the generator the file will be closed
immediately after the loop as the ref count of the generater hits 0.
