How about providing a decorator that turns the generator into a context
manager
def close_gen(f):
@contextmanager
@wraps(f)
def g(*args, **kw):
with closing(f(*args, **kw)) as h:
yield h
return g
@close_gen
def read_multiple(...):
...
?
A more radical approach would be to add __enter__ and __exit__ methods so
that for every generator function f
with f() as g:
pass
would call g.close()
