The way I'm reading your code, it's not the generator that's the
difference here. Consider these lines:
> for item in doc['meeting']['race']:

Firstly, did you mean for *attribs to be part of the signature of
return_files? As it is, it's being given to sorted(), which won't work
(the other args to sorted are keyword-only).
Assuming that to be the case, what you're trying to do is subscript an
object with a variable set of attributes:
return_files(files, "meeting", "race')
That can best be done with a little loop:
def return_files(file_list, *attribs):
...
for attr in attribs:
doc = doc[attr]
for item in doc:
If that's not what you want, can you further clarify the question?
