Delaney> As we can see, there are two sections of the format:

Delaney>     for x in <seq>:
Delaney>         yield <something>

Delaney> However, in neither case would you be able to use

Delaney>     yield every <seq>

    def product(s, *sets):
        if not sets:
            yield every [(x,) for x in s]
        else:
            subproduct = list(product(*sets))
                yield every [(x,) + t for x in s for t in subproduct]

I should think that would work as long as "yield every" takes an
iterable rather than just a generator.
