Ok, but then we are back to my initial question of whether the destroy
of
def get_data(obj):
iter = make_iter(obj)
while more(iter):
yield next(iter)
destroy(iter)
can be guaranteed somehow in Python 2.4 while it can be done in Python
2.5 like follows:
def get_data(obj):
iter = make_iter(obj)
try:
while more(iter):
yield next(iter)
finally:
destroy(iter)
And then the answer is: no, it cannot be done in 2.4 (like Alex
Martelli already said ;-)
