Hi

I want to create a generator function that supplies my calling function a file, 
how though do I get the generator to accept attributes in the argument when 
called?


This works not as a generator

for filename in sorted(file_list):
    with open(dir_path + filename) as fd:
        doc = xmltodict.parse(fd.read())
        for item in doc['meeting']['race']:
            for detail in item['nomination']:
                print(item['@id'] + "\t" + detail['@id'] + "\t" +
                      detail['@number'] + "\t" + detail['@horse'])

And what I want to do is simplify 

            for detail in item['nomination']:
                print(item['@id'] + "\t" + detail['@id'] + "\t" +
                      detail['@number'] + "\t" + detail['@horse'])

As I will have several implementations to do and would like to be able to 
neatly handoff to sqlalchemy.

I have it as something like this but am not quite creating it correctly.

def return_files(file_list):
    """ Take a list of files and return file when called 

        Calling function to supply attributes   
    """
    for filename in sorted(file_list, *attribs):
        with open(dir_path + filename) as fd:
            doc = xmltodict.parse(fd.read())
            for item in doc([attribs]):
                yield item

Thanks
