You define a new type with tp_flags including Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_ITER. 
Anything that would be a local variable in your generator needs to become 
an attribute in the type.

The tp_init initialization function should contain all the code up to the 
first yield, tp_iter should return self and tp_iternext should execute code 
up to the next yield.
