quick question about generator.next()

[Erik Price]

A quick question about generators:

If I have a generator object, the first value produced by the generator 
object does not actually get produced until the first time I call 
generator_object.next() , correct?

In other words, simply instantiating the generator object doesn't 
"activate" the generator function, rather it just creates it -- only 
when the next() method is called does the generator's internal logic 
"activate", right?

(Where are generator objects getting their next() method from anyway... 
is it implicitly inherited behind the scenes when I use the "yield" 
keyword to turn a function into a generator?)


Thank you,

Erik
