[issue8012] Revise generator-related Glossary entries

2010-04-02 Thread Georg Brandl 

Georg Brandl ge...@python.org added the comment:

I think this patch is not correct: a generator really is the same as 
generator function.  Both generators and genexps return an iterator; I've 
fixed that in r79587.

[issue8012] Revise generator-related Glossary entries

2010-04-02 Thread John Posner 

John Posner jjpos...@optimum.net added the comment:

Georg, your change (r79587) makes this the main definition:

  generator
  A function which returns an iterator.
  
I'm concerned that this definition does not fit well with the occurrence of 
generator object in the following:

Python 2.6.5 (r265:79096, Mar 19 2010, 21:48:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on 
win32
Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information.
 obj1 = (x for x in [1,2])
 def gfunc():
... count = 0
... while True:
... count += 1
... yield count
...
 obj2 = gfunc()
 obj1
generator object genexpr at 0x00CC6378
 obj2
generator object gfunc at 0x00CC6328



My patch attempted to make generator be the same as generator object in the 
above.
