There were two particularly nifty things this week:

    nested generators
    tuple unpacking

Last week I wrote:

    def even_fibonacci(last):
        a = 0
        b = 1
        while True:
            c = a + b
            a = b
            b = c
            if b > last:
                break
            if b % 2 == 0:
                yield b

This week, a more elegant way of doing the above was described by XY,
where the one generator was split into three simple generators,
one that generates fibonacci numbers, one that yields only even numbers,
and lastly, one that limits how much is output.
Each generator does only one thing, and does it well.
The generators are general purpose and can be combined with other
generators. This is much like the Unix philosophy and using Unix pipes.

    def gen_fibonacci():
        a, b = 0, 1
        while True:
            a, b = b, a + b
            yield b

    def gen_even(gen):
        for i in gen:
            if i%2 == 0:
                yield i

    def gen_lte(gen, n):
        for i in gen:
            if i > n:
                break
            yield i

    print [i for i in gen_lte(gen_even(gen_fibonacci()), 1000)]

Now it's easy to combine generators in different ways.

    print [i for i in gen_lte(gen_fibonacci(), 1000)]

    def gen_n(gen, n):
        for i in gen:
            if n <= 0:
                break
            yield i
            n -= 1

    print [i for i in gen_n(gen_fibonacci(), 10)]

    print [i for i in gen_n(gen_even(gen_fibonacci()), 10)]

or as dabeaz might do:

    fibs = gen_fibonacci()
    evens = gen_even(fibs)
    lte = gen_lte(evens, 1000)
    print [i for i in lte]

nested generators
use like pipes
redo my euler #2 to nest even generator with fib generator

Tuple unpacking simplified:

    c = a + b
    a = b
    b = c

to:

    a, b = b, a + b
