I find "generator-function" misleading in the same way that "pineapple" misleadingly suggests "apple that grows on pines" A builtin function is a function in the builtin (or builtins -- can never remember) module A pure function is function that does not assign or mutate non-locals A Steven-function is a function that presumably Steven wrote However a "generator function" is a weird sort of function (at best). Not regarding it as a function is IMO more reasonable. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
