In general, no, you can't reuse any iterator, including the generator created by calling a generator function. Iterators go through their values once, then raise StopIteration on any further accesses. In Python 2.5 you can pass values into a generator by calling next() with a value. You could use this to create a generator that can be reset. But more commonly you would just call the generator function again and create a new generator instance.
