I don't know about lists of not-so-obvious idioms, but here's some
gotchas (there may be some overlap with what you're asking about):

Now that we're on the subject, what are the advantages of using
generators over, say, list comprehensions or for loops? It seems to me
that virtually all (I won't say everything) the examples I've seen can
be done just as easily without using generators. For example,
Fredrik's initial example in
I see. Thanks for the helpful response.

>>> a = [1,2,3,4,5]
>>> for number in a:
... number = 10
...
>>> a
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
So, I
