Here I break the loop - x = test() for j in x: print(j) if j == 2: break Now the output is - start 0 1 2 'done' does not appear, so the generator does not actually terminate. What happens to it? My guess is that normal scoping rules apply. Using my example, the generator is referenced by 'x', so when 'x' goes out of scope, the generator is garbage collected, even though it never completed. Is this correct? Frank Millman
