About that 'yield' word

You seem to have omitted the necessary statement at the start
of your module (in Python 2.2):
from __future__ import generators

Alternatively, upgrade to 2.3, and you won't need that statement
any more.

I guess this was just thrown together as an example of "yield", rather
than real code, but:

def maker():
return range(100)

seems a little less contorted...

And less contorted still is:

xrange(100)

Maybe so, but it behaves differently so direct comparisons aren't
particularly helpful:
def maker(): .... for i in range(100):
.... yield i
.... def maker1(): .... return range(100)
.... maker() <generator object at 0x1d80f8> maker1()

Maybe so, but it behaves differently so direct comparisons aren't
particularly helpful:

I considered mentioning iter(range(100)) instead but I couldn't think of
an actual reason one would care about the difference.
