I think you're expecting
for file in rootobs
to get the next yield for you from rootobs, but unless someone corrects
me, I don't think you can expect a 'for' statement to do that. You need
to have a 'next' statement inside your for loop to get the next yield
from the generator.
But I might not understand exactly what you're asking.
