My bad, I got the comparison backward. The generator *is* different,
but it's because the generator has *extra* public methods, not fewer.
Sorry for the noi

Given that we have this kind of arcane discussion fairly regularly (not
just in this thread), and it always makes my head spin, and it seems I'm
not the only one who gets confused:
How about having a module that provides functions such as
isgenerator isiterator isiterable etc.
