- When a generator is GC'ed, its close() method is called (which is a no-op if it is already closed).
Does this mean that all generators will be ineligible for cyclic garbage collection (since they implicitly have something equivalent to a __del__ method)?
No, since it's implemented in C. (The C equivalent to __del__ does not interfere with cyclic GC.)
