Ok Let me throw out a suggestion:
- potato is a generator
- tomato is a cursor.
Acceptable?
No. In Python potato is a generator function, tomato is a generator.
Why complicate something that is so simple? I couldn't care less what
they are called in any other language.
Ok so lets see...
https://docs.python.org/3.4/tutorial/classes.html#generators
https://docs.python.org/3.4/glossary.html#term-generator
Are these consistent with (your notion of) python?
Maybe they are "any other language"?
I'll already suggested you write the patches and put them on the bug
tracker. If you can't be bothered please have the courtesy to stop
bleating about it.
Here are two of your posts (within a couple of hours)
1.
So the docs are confused and inconsistent but in an open source
community it's not *MY* responsibility to deal with it, somebody else can.
Making mountains out of mole hills is all I see in this entire thread.
2.
No. In Python potato is a generator function, tomato is a generator.

I understand the first as saying: "Since something is wrong correct it; Dont
bleat!"
The first is saying that *YOU* are complaining that the docs are
inconsistent but *YOU* won't do anything about it.
The second is saying "Nothing is wrong!"
The second is saying that those are *MY* definitions that *I'M*
perfectly happy with.
Please decide which side you belong
The side which hopes you give up this now very tedious thread. Mario's
response a few minutes back summed things up perfectly.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.
