yes - it disappears in the sense that it no longer
accessible, but
AFAIK python makes no guarantees as for when an object
is destroyed - CPython counts references and destroys
when no reference is left, but that is implementation
specific
Right - that's what I am thought about when writing the OP. But Terry is
right - often the generator doesn't need to know that is
closed/terminated, which is anyway possible only since 2.5.
But in these (admittedly rarely) cases, it is better practice to close
explicitly, isn't it?
Unsure,
