actually i don't like when a tutorial uses over complicated cute names
if the context is obvious (fibonacci) then we don't need to add
'parent_rabbits' and such identifiers
eg i find more readable and clear the following:
def fib():
a, b = 0, 1
while True:
yield a
a, b = b, a + b
for (n, fn) in enumerate(fib()):
if n > 100:
break
print "F[%d] = %d" % (n, fn)
