That was not what I wrote. I referred to what Peter Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > I believe the more modern approach to this is to use generators in some > way, yield each other as the next state. This way you avoid all almost > all the function call overhead (the part that takes significant time, > which is setting up the stack frame) The way I understand this, resuming a generator causes less overhead than the inital overhead of a function call. Again, I'm just a poor scripting dilettant who's asking questions. Sincerely, Wolfgang Keller -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
