Thanks you for explaining your confusion.  Knowing what sort of 
other-language-baggage people are being mislead by can only help in 
explaining Python.  But here is my question.  In Python,

g = (<expr> for x in iterable)

is essentially an abbreviation for, and means the same as

def _(it):
   for x in it:
     yield <expr>
g = _(iterable)
del _

Are there language in which a similar construct has an essentially 
different meaning?
