Which is what it used to do before the change was introduced.
As the generator object has an __iter__ method it is being iterated over
and the result from each item concatenated.
See code:
def publish_object(req, object):
if callable(object):
# To publish callables, we call them an recursively publish the result
# of the call (as done by util.apply_fs_data)
req.form = util.FieldStorage(req, keep_blank_values=1)
return publish_object(req,util.apply_fs_data(object, req.form, req=req))
elif hasattr(object,'__iter__'):
# To publish iterables, we recursively publish each item
# This way, generators can be published
result = False
for item in object:
result |= publish_object(req,item)
return result
else:
....
