This is more a question about standard terminology/conventions than about semantics - of course assuming I understand :-)
Say I have a simple yielding function: def foo(x): yield x+1 yield x+2 And I have g = foo(2) If I look at type, g's type is 'generator' whereas foo is just plain-ol 'function.' Whereas in informal usage we say foo is a generator. So the question: What should we call foo and what should we call g? Same applies when foo is a 'coroutine' ie something having yield used in an rhs and used with '.send' from outside: What to call foo and what to call foo(x)? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
