[Python-Dev] Re: PEP 255: Simple Generators

[Greg Ewing]

Something is bothering me about this. In fact,
it's bothering me a LOT. In the following, will
f() work as a generator-function:

  def f():
    for i in range(5):
      g(i)

  def g(i):
    for j in range(10):
      yield i,j

If I understand PEP255 correctly, this will *not*
work. But it seems entirely reasonable to me that
it *should* work. It *has* to work, otherwise how
am I to write generators that are too complicated
to fit into a single function?

Someone please tell me I'm wrong about this!
