Only one problem. Is there any way to access the state of a generator
externally? In other words, the generator saves all it's local variables. Can an unrelated object then query the values of those variables? (In this
case, to get at intermediate results)
You could make the generator a method of a class and store the generator state in instance variables instead of local variables:
>>> class Gen: ... def __init__(self): ... self.i = 0 ... def __call__(self): ... while True: ... yield self.i ... self.i += 1 ... >>> g=Gen() >>> g.i 0 >>> iter=g() >>> iter.next() 0 >>> g.i 0 >>> iter.next() 1 >>> g.i 1
