Why do you do this? The whole point of this approach was to keep the intermediate results instead of recomputing them every time!
And why do you prepend underscores everywhere? It's bad Python style.
_e=time() _t=_e-_b
print "f1 result: %r time: %f\n" % (_y,_t*10000.)

def f2(afunc,aseed,n): v = myfunc(aseed) print v for i in range(n): yield v v = afunc(v)

I don't know how to get the generator to work correcly, I understand that the yield preserves the state of the funcion every time it is called. So in order to have myfunc called 50 times, the generator must be called 50 times, but it refuses to return a value. PEP 255 isn't helping me.
No, the generator call creates a generator object which you iterate over.
for value in f2(myfunc, seed, n):
print valueIf you absolutely need a list:
list(f2(myfunc, seed, n))
