Given the following [cdal...@localhost ~]$ python Python 2.4.3 (#1, Oct 1 2006, 18:00:19) [GCC 4.1.1 20060928 (Red Hat 4.1.1-28)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> def counter(): ... mylist = range(3) ... for i in mylist: ... yield i*i ... >>> counter <function counter at 0xb7e79e64> >>> gen = counter() >>> gen <generator object at 0xb7e7c1cc> >>> while True: ... i = gen.next() ... print i ... 0 1 4 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 2, in ? StopIteration
I thought the 'for' in counter() was supposed to catch StopIteration. Ie, I thought that something like ... for i in mylist: ... yield i*i Got translated to something like >>> try: ... while True: ... do some stuff ... except StopIteration: ... pass ... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
