Here's the (a?) generator expression PEP:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0289/
Here's a presentation I put together on this and related topics a while back:
http://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~strombrg/Intro-to-Python/Python%20Generators,%20Iterators%20and%20Comprehensions%202014.pdf
FWIW, [a for a in range(2)] is a list comprehension; it's eager. And
(a for a in range(2)) is a generator expression; it's lazy.
