Let's try a simple generator:

    >>> def f():
    ...    yield 1
    ...    yield 2

    >>> for i in f():
    ...     print(i)
    1
    2
    >>> g = f()
    >>> next(g)
    1
    >>> next(g)
    2

"Falling off the end" stops the generator:

    >>> next(g)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
      File "<stdin>", line 2, in g
    StopIteration

"return" also stops the generator:

    >>> def f():
    ...     yield 1
    ...     return
    ...     yield 2 # never reached
    ...
    >>> g = f()
    >>> next(g)
    1
    >>> next(g)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
      File "<stdin>", line 3, in f
    StopIteration
    >>> next(g) # once stopped, can't be resumed
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    StopIteration

However, "return" and StopIteration are not exactly equivalent:

    >>> def g1():
    ...     try:
    ...         return
    ...     except:
    ...         yield 1
    ...
    >>> list(g1())
    []

    >>> def g2():
    ...     try:
    ...         raise StopIteration
    ...     except:
    ...         yield 42
    >>> print(list(g2()))
    [42]

This may be surprising at first:

    >>> def g3():
    ...     try:
    ...         return
    ...     finally:
    ...         yield 1
    ...
    >>> list(g3())
    [1]

Let's create an alternate range() function implemented as a generator:

    >>> def yrange(n):
    ...     for i in range(n):
    ...         yield i
    ...
    >>> list(yrange(5))
    [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

Generators always return to the most recent caller:

    >>> def creator():
    ...     r = yrange(5)
    ...     print("creator", next(r))
    ...     return r
    ...
    >>> def caller():
    ...     r = creator()
    ...     for i in r:
    ...             print("caller", i)
    ...
    >>> caller()
    creator 0
    caller 1
    caller 2
    caller 3
    caller 4

Generators can call other generators:

    >>> def zrange(n):
    ...     for i in yrange(n):
    ...         yield i
    ...
    >>> list(zrange(5))
    [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

# The examples from PEP 255.

pep_tests = """

Specification:  Yield

    Restriction:  A generator cannot be resumed while it is actively
    running:

    >>> def g():
    ...     i = next(me)
    ...     yield i
    >>> me = g()
    >>> next(me)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
     ...
      File "<string>", line 2, in g
    ValueError: generator already executing

Specification: Return

    Note that return isn't always equivalent to raising StopIteration:  the
    difference lies in how enclosing try/except constructs are treated.
    For example,

        >>> def f1():
        ...     try:
        ...         return
        ...     except:
        ...        yield 1
        >>> print(list(f1()))
        []

    because, as in any function, return simply exits, but

        >>> def f2():
        ...     try:
        ...         raise StopIteration
        ...     except:
        ...         yield 42
        >>> print(list(f2()))
        [42]

    because StopIteration is captured by a bare "except", as is any
    exception.

Specification: Generators and Exception Propagation

    >>> def f():
    ...     return 1//0
    >>> def g():
    ...     yield f()  # the zero division exception propagates
    ...     yield 42   # and we'll never get here
    >>> k = g()
    >>> next(k)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
      File "<stdin>", line 2, in g
      File "<stdin>", line 2, in f
    ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero
    >>> next(k)  # and the generator cannot be resumed
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    StopIteration
    >>>

Specification: Try/Except/Finally

    >>> def f():
    ...     try:
    ...         yield 1
    ...         try:

Another famous problem:  generate all integers of the form
    2**i * 3**j  * 5**k
in increasing order, where i,j,k >= 0.  Trickier than it may look at first!
Try writing it without generators, and correctly, and without generating
3 internal results for each result output.

>>> def times(n, g):
...     for i in g:
...         yield n * i
>>> firstn(times(10, intsfrom(1)), 10)
[10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100]

>>> def merge(g, h):
...     ng = next(g)
...     nh = next(h)
...     while 1:
...         if ng < nh:
...             yield ng
...             ng = next(g)
...         elif ng > nh:
...             yield nh
...             nh = next(h)
...         else:
...             yield ng
...             ng = next(g)
...             nh = next(h)

The following works, but is doing a whale of a lot of redundant work --
it's not clear how to get the internal uses of m235 to share a single
generator.  Note that me_times2 (etc) each need to see every element in the
result sequence.  So this is an example where lazy lists are more natural
(you can look at the head of a lazy list any number of times).

>>> def m235():
...     yield 1
...     me_times2 = times(2, m235())
...     me_times3 = times(3, m235())
...     me_times5 = times(5, m235())
...     for i in merge(merge(me_times2,
...                          me_times3),
...                    me_times5):
...         yield i

Don't print "too many" of these -- the implementation above is extremely
inefficient:  each call of m235() leads to 3 recursive calls, and in
turn each of those 3 more, and so on, and so on, until we've descended
enough levels to satisfy the print stmts.  Very odd:  when I printed 5
lines of results below, this managed to screw up Win98's malloc in "the
usual" way, i.e. the heap grew over 4Mb so Win98 started fragmenting
address space, and it *looked* like a very slow leak.

>>> result = m235()
>>> for i in range(3):
...     print(firstn(result, 15))

Heh.  Here's one way to get a shared list, complete with an excruciating
namespace renaming trick.  The *pretty* part is that the times() and merge()
functions can be reused as-is, because they only assume their stream
arguments are iterable -- a LazyList is the same as a generator to times().

>>> class LazyList:
...     def __init__(self, g):
...         self.sofar = []
...         self.fetch = g.__next__
...
...     def __getitem__(self, i):
...         sofar, fetch = self.sofar, self.fetch
...         while i >= len(sofar):
...             sofar.append(fetch())
...         return sofar[i]

>>> def m235():
...     yield 1
...     # Gack:  m235 below actually refers to a LazyList.
...     me_times2 = times(2, m235)
...     me_times3 = times(3, m235)
...     me_times5 = times(5, m235)
...     for i in merge(merge(me_times2,

...                    me_times5):
...         yield i

Print as many of these as you like -- *this* implementation is memory-
efficient.

Running after your tail with itertools.tee (new in version 2.4)

The algorithms "m235" (Hamming) and Fibonacci presented above are both
examples of a whole family of FP (functional programming) algorithms
where a function produces and returns a list while the production algorithm
suppose the list as already produced by recursively calling itself.
For these algorithms to work, they must:

- produce at least a first element without presupposing the existence of
  the rest of the list
- produce their elements in a lazy manner

To work efficiently, the beginning of the list must not be recomputed over
and over again. This is ensured in most FP languages as a built-in feature.
In python, we have to explicitly maintain a list of already computed results
and abandon genuine recursivity.

This is what had been attempted above with the LazyList class. One problem
with that class is that it keeps a list of all of the generated results and
therefore continually grows. This partially defeats the goal of the generator
concept, viz. produce the results only as needed instead of producing them
all and thereby wasting memory.

Thanks to itertools.tee, it is now clear "how to get the internal uses of
m235 to share a single generator".

>>> from itertools import tee
>>> def m235():
...     def _m235():
...         yield 1
...         for n in merge(times(2, m2),
...                        merge(times(3, m3),
...                              times(5, m5))):
...             yield n
...     m1 = _m235()
...     m2, m3, m5, mRes = tee(m1, 4)
...     return mRes

>>> it = m235()
>>> for i in range(5):
...     print(firstn(it, 15))
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24]
[25, 27, 30, 32, 36, 40, 45, 48, 50, 54, 60, 64, 72, 75, 80]
[81, 90, 96, 100, 108, 120, 125, 128, 135, 144, 150, 160, 162, 180, 192]
[200, 216, 225, 240, 243, 250, 256, 270, 288, 300, 320, 324, 360, 375, 384]

The "tee" function does just what we want. It internally keeps a generated
result for as long as it has not been "consumed" from all of the duplicated
iterators, whereupon it is deleted. You can therefore print the hamming
sequence during hours without increasing memory usage, or very little.

The beauty of it is that recursive running-after-their-tail FP algorithms
are quite straightforwardly expressed with this Python idiom.

# conjoin is a simple backtracking generator, named in honor of Icon's
# "conjunction" control structure.  Pass a list of no-argument functions
# that return iterable objects.  Easiest to explain by example:  assume the
# function list [x, y, z] is passed.  Then conjoin acts like:
#
# def g():
#     values = [None] * 3
#     for values[0] in x():
#         for values[1] in y():
#             for values[2] in z():
#                 yield values
#
# So some 3-lists of values *may* be generated, each time we successfully
# get into the innermost loop.  If an iterator fails (is exhausted) before
# then, it "backtracks" to get the next value from the nearest enclosing
# iterator (the one "to the left"), and starts all over again at the next
# slot (pumps a fresh iterator).  Of course this is most useful when the
# iterators have side-effects, so that which values *can* be generated at
# each slot depend on the values iterated at previous slots.

def simple_conjoin(gs):

    values = [None] * len(gs)

    for x in gen(0):

# That works fine, but recursing a level and checking i against len(gs) for
# each item produced is inefficient.  By doing manual loop unrolling across
# generator boundaries, it's possible to eliminate most of that overhead.
# This isn't worth the bother *in general* for generators, but conjoin() is
# a core building block for some CPU-intensive generator applications.

# And one more approach:  For backtracking apps like the Knight's Tour
# solver below, the number of backtracking levels can be enormous (one
# level per square, for the Knight's Tour, so that e.g. a 100x100 board
# needs 10,000 levels).  In such cases Python is likely to run out of
# stack space due to recursion.  So here's a recursion-free version of
# conjoin too.
# NOTE WELL:  This allows large problems to be solved with only trivial
# demands on stack space.  Without explicitly resumable generators, this is
# much harder to achieve.  OTOH, this is much slower (up to a factor of 2)

>>> print(count, "solutions in all.")
92 solutions in all.

And run a Knight's Tour on a 10x10 board.  Note that there are about
20,000 solutions even on a 6x6 board, so don't dare run this to exhaustion.

Sending a value into a new generator produces a TypeError:

TypeError: can't send non-None value to a just-started generator


Yield by itself yields None:

>>> def f(): yield

An obscene abuse of a yield expression within a generator expression:

>>> list((yield 21) for i in range(4))
[21, None, 21, None, 21, None, 21, None]

And a more sane, but still weird usage:

>>> def f(): list(i for i in [(yield 26)])
>>> type(f())
<class 'generator'>


A yield expression with augmented assignment.

>>> def coroutine(seq):

>>> c.send(10)
>>> print(seq)

Check some syntax errors for yield expressions:

>>> f=lambda: (yield 1),(yield 2)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
SyntaxError: 'yield' outside function

>>> def f(): x = yield = y
Traceback (most recent call last):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
SyntaxError: can't assign to yield expression

>>> def f(): (yield bar) += y
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
SyntaxError: can't assign to yield expression


Now check some throw() conditions:

>>> def f():
...     while True:
...         try:
...             print((yield))
...         except ValueError as v:
...             print("caught ValueError (%s)" % (v))
>>> import sys
>>> g = f()
>>> next(g)

>>> g.throw(ValueError) # type only
caught ValueError ()

>>> g.throw(ValueError("xyz"))  # value only
caught ValueError (xyz)

>>> g.throw(ValueError, ValueError(1))   # value+matching type
caught ValueError (1)

>>> g.throw(ValueError, TypeError(1))  # mismatched type, rewrapped
caught ValueError (1)

>>> g.throw(ValueError, ValueError(1), None)   # explicit None traceback
caught ValueError (1)

>>> g.throw(ValueError(1), "foo")       # bad args
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
TypeError: instance exception may not have a separate value

>>> g.throw(ValueError, "foo", 23)      # bad args
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
TypeError: throw() third argument must be a traceback object

>>> g.throw("abc")

TypeError: exceptions must be classes or instances deriving from BaseException, not str

>>> g.throw(0)

>>> g.throw(list)

>>> def throw(g,exc):
...     try:
...         raise exc
...     except:
...         g.throw(*sys.exc_info())
>>> throw(g,ValueError) # do it with traceback included
caught ValueError ()

>>> g.send(1)

>>> throw(g,TypeError)  # terminate the generator
Traceback (most recent call last):

>>> print(g.gi_frame)

>>> g.send(2)

>>> g.throw(ValueError,6)       # throw on closed generator
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: 6

>>> f().throw(ValueError,7)     # throw on just-opened generator
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
ValueError: 7

Plain "raise" inside a generator should preserve the traceback (#13188).
The traceback should have 3 levels:
- g.throw()
- f()
- 1/0

>>> def f():
...     try:
...         yield
...     except:
...         raise
>>> g = f()
>>> try:
...     1/0
... except ZeroDivisionError as v:
...     try:
...         g.throw(v)
...     except Exception as w:
...         tb = w.__traceback__
>>> levels = 0
>>> while tb:
...     levels += 1
...     tb = tb.tb_next
>>> levels
3

Now let's try closing a generator:

>>> def f():
...     try: yield
...     except GeneratorExit:
...         print("exiting")

>>> g = f()
>>> next(g)
>>> g.close()
exiting
>>> g.close()  # should be no-op now

>>> f().close()  # close on just-opened generator should be fine

>>> def f(): yield      # an even simpler generator
>>> f().close()         # close before opening
>>> g = f()
>>> next(g)
>>> g.close()           # close normally

And finalization:

>>> def f():
...     try: yield
...     finally:
...         print("exiting")

>>> g = f()
>>> next(g)
>>> del g
exiting


GeneratorExit is not caught by except Exception:

>>> def f():
...     try: yield
...     except Exception:
...         print('except')
...     finally:
...         print('finally')

>>> g = f()
>>> next(g)
>>> del g
finally


Now let's try some ill-behaved generators:

>>> def f():
...     try: yield
...     except GeneratorExit:
...         yield "foo!"
>>> g = f()
>>> next(g)
>>> g.close()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
RuntimeError: generator ignored GeneratorExit
>>> g.close()


Our ill-behaved code should be invoked during GC:

>>> import sys, io
>>> old, sys.stderr = sys.stderr, io.StringIO()
>>> g = f()
>>> next(g)
>>> del g
>>> "RuntimeError: generator ignored GeneratorExit" in sys.stderr.getvalue()
True
>>> sys.stderr = old


And errors thrown during closing should propagate:

>>> def f():
...     try: yield
...     except GeneratorExit:
...         raise TypeError("fie!")
>>> g = f()
>>> next(g)
>>> g.close()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
TypeError: fie!


Ensure that various yield expression constructs make their
enclosing function a generator:

>>> def f(): x += yield
>>> type(f())
<class 'generator'>

>>> def f(): x = yield
>>> type(f())
<class 'generator'>

>>> def f(): lambda x=(yield): 1
>>> type(f())
<class 'generator'>

>>> def f(): x=(i for i in (yield) if (yield))
>>> type(f())
<class 'generator'>

>>> def f(d): d[(yield "a")] = d[(yield "b")] = 27
>>> data = [1,2]
>>> g = f(data)
>>> type(g)
<class 'generator'>
>>> g.send(None)
'a'
>>> data
[1, 2]
>>> g.send(0)
'b'
>>> data
[27, 2]
>>> try: g.send(1)
... except StopIteration: pass
>>> data
[27, 27]

refleaks_tests = """
Prior to adding cycle-GC support to itertools.tee, this code would leak
references. We add it to the standard suite so the routine refleak-tests
would trigger if it starts being uncleanable again.

>>> import itertools
>>> def leak():
...     class gen:
...         def __iter__(self):
...             return self
...         def __next__(self):
...             return self.item
...     g = gen()
...     head, tail = itertools.tee(g)
...     g.item = head
...     return head
>>> it = leak()

Make sure to also test the involvement of the tee-internal teedataobject,
which stores returned items.

>>> item = next(it)


This test leaked at one point due to generator finalization/destruction.
It was copied from Lib/test/leakers/test_generator_cycle.py before the file
was removed.

>>> def leak():
...    def gen():
...        while True:
...            yield g
...    g = gen()

>>> leak()


This test isn't really generator related, but rather exception-in-cleanup
related. The coroutine tests (above) just happen to cause an exception in
the generator's __del__ (tp_del) method. We can also test for this
explicitly, without generators. We do have to redirect stderr to avoid
printing warnings and to doublecheck that we actually tested what we wanted
to test.

>>> import sys, io
>>> old = sys.stderr
>>> try:
...     sys.stderr = io.StringIO()
...     class Leaker:
...         def __del__(self):
...             def invoke(message):
...                 raise RuntimeError(message)
...             invoke("test")
...
...     l = Leaker()
...     del l
...     err = sys.stderr.getvalue().strip()
...     "Exception ignored in" in err
...     "RuntimeError: test" in err
...     "Traceback" in err
...     "in invoke" in err
... finally:
...     sys.stderr = old
True
True
True
True


These refleak tests should perhaps be in a testfile of their own,
test_generators just happened to be the test that drew these out.
