[New-bugs-announce] [issue17887] docs: summary page - generator vs iterator vs iterable

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik:

Docs lack a good summary page comparing three concepts. The main question is how do I tell if something is a sequence, generator, iterator or iterable? I found myself puzzled that range() is neither generator or iterator.
