Each?  Maybe that's a source of confusion.  There is only one generator 
expression in your example.

>>> c = (lambda : i for i in range(11, 16))
>>> c
<generator object <genexpr> at 0x114e90>
>>> d = list(c)
>>> d
[<function <lambda> at 0x119348>, <function <lambda> at 0x119390>, 
<function <lambda> at 0x1193d8>, <function <lambda> at 0x119420>, 
<function <lambda> at 0x119468>]
