Like any function you need to use the value returned.
Although in this case you are returning the list which
is already available as a global variable.

It would be more normal for the generator to yield the
integer and then for your code to store it in the list:

def get_num():
   n = 0
   while True:
      n += 1
      yield n

u = []
for j in range(100):   # or however many numbers you need...
   u.append(get_num())

print(u)

By putting the number inside the function you don't get any
weird side-effects - like if somebody modifies t between calls?
