This code uses generator expressions which IronPython doesn't support
yet.
It is Python 2.4 feature and we are just starting to add 2.4 features
Into IronPython. I am hoping to add the support for generator
expressions
soon.

I don't see reason for this to not work, what error are you getting?

Again, this doesn't work because of the missing enerator expressions.

That's exactly the reason why it doesn't work. Python lists don't
Translate to .NET arrays automatically. I hope this is something
we'll fix soon.
