Other have answered your question. I will add that *there is* a generator
type in the types module (even if it does not do what you want)

>>> from types import GeneratorType
>>> def g(): 
...     yield 1
>>> type(g()) is GeneratorType
True

Hint: look at the source code of the types module and see how GeneratorType 
is defined ...
