Thankfully, the syntax is almost identical for generators, which are
chain-able:

    noEOLs = (line.strip('\n') for line in f)
    txtSuffix = (line for line in noEOLs if line.endswith('txt'))
    ...etc

Really? Observation of the python mailing list indicates the opposite:
people seem inclined to use them no matter what.
