Lets say i have a generator running that generates successive characters of a 'string' >From what I know, if I want to do a regexp search for a pattern of characters then I would have to 'freeze' the generator and pass the characters so far to re.search. It is expensive to create successive characters, but caching could be used for past characters. is it possible to wrap the generator in a class, possibly inheriting from string, that would allow the regexp searching of the string but without terminating the generator? In other words duck typing for the usual string object needed by re.search?
