Some further reading on generators has helped clarify the issue for me. I had forgotten that the initial call to a generator only sets it up, and then returns the generator function itself, which then needs to be iterated through. Thanks for the reminder! -- ~Ethan~ Still early in the morning for me, so just in case I didn't phrase it well, my thanks are sincere. PS My apologies if this shows up twice, I haven't seen my other post yet and it's been 27 hours. That's probably because you sent it directly to me. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The expected debugging output is a list of names in alphabetical order
from each node (there are about 90 of them); what I am getting is this:
-- dbf.tables.Index.from_file('', r'aad13658_last_name_for_state.idx')
starting next_item call for root
-
open file 'aad13658_last_name_for_state.idx', mode 'rb' at 0x013BD458
512 30
-
more nodes
CARNAHAN 1536
ENGLUND 1024
HOLSTEIN 2048
MATTHEWS 2560
ROSENFELD 3072
TERWILLIGER 3584
YAZZOLINO 4096
and then it stops. I should get about nine of these sections, and I'm
only getting one.

Any ideas appreciated!
'next_item' is a generator, but it's just calling itself and discarding
the result. I think it should be yielding the results to its caller.
That fix gives me 7 sections in total.
