There is no way to do that.  Think about:

    def g():
        yield 1

    def f():
        return g()

also think about:

    def f():
        return iter([1])

There are lots of ways to return iterators in Python.
Generator-iterators are first class objects and be passed around.
What are you really trying to do?
