Let's try a simple generator:

    >>> def f():
    ...    yield 1
    ...    yield 2

    >>> for i in f():
    ...     print i
    1
    2
    >>> g = f()
    >>> g.next()
    1
    >>> g.next()
    2

"Falling off the end" stops the generator:

    >>> g.next()
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
      File "<stdin>", line 2, in g
    StopIteration

"return" also stops the generator:

    >>> def f():
    ...     yield 1
    ...     return
    ...     yield 2 # never reached
    ...
    >>> g = f()
    >>> g.next()
    1
    >>> g.next()
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
      File "<stdin>", line 3, in f
    StopIteration
    >>> g.next() # once stopped, can't be resumed
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    StopIteration

"raise StopIteration" stops the generator too:

    >>> def f():
    ...     yield 1
    ...     raise StopIteration
    ...     yield 2 # never reached
    ...
    >>> g = f()
    >>> g.next()
    1
    >>> g.next()
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    StopIteration
    >>> g.next()
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    StopIteration

However, they are not exactly equivalent:

    >>> def g1():
    ...     try:
    ...         return
    ...     except:
    ...         yield 1
    ...
    >>> list(g1())
    []

    >>> def g2():
    ...     try:
    ...         raise StopIteration
    ...     except:
    ...         yield 42
    >>> print list(g2())
    [42]

This may be surprising at first:

    >>> def g3():
    ...     try:
    ...         return
    ...     finally:
    ...         yield 1
    ...
    >>> list(g3())
    [1]

Let's create an alternate range() function implemented as a generator:

    >>> def yrange(n):
    ...     for i in range(n):
    ...         yield i
    ...
    >>> list(yrange(5))
    [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

Generators always return to the most recent caller:

    >>> def creator():
    ...     r = yrange(5)
    ...     print "creator", r.next()
    ...     return r
    ...
    >>> def caller():
    ...     r = creator()
    ...     for i in r:
    ...             print "caller", i
    ...
    >>> caller()
    creator 0
    caller 1
    caller 2
    caller 3
    caller 4

Generators can call other generators:

    >>> def zrange(n):
    ...     for i in yrange(n):
    ...         yield i
    ...
    >>> list(zrange(5))
    [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

# The examples from PEP 255.

Specification:  Yield

    Restriction:  A generator cannot be resumed while it is actively
    running:

    >>> def g():
    ...     i = me.next()
    ...     yield i
    >>> me = g()
    >>> me.next()
    Traceback (most recent call last):
     ...
      File "<string>", line 2, in g
    ValueError: generator already executing

Specification: Return

    Note that return isn't always equivalent to raising StopIteration:  the
    difference lies in how enclosing try/except constructs are treated.
    For example,

        >>> def f1():
        ...     try:
        ...         return
        ...     except:
        ...        yield 1
        >>> print list(f1())
        []

    because, as in any function, return simply exits, but

        >>> def f2():
        ...     try:
        ...         raise StopIteration
        ...     except:
        ...         yield 42
        >>> print list(f2())
        [42]

    because StopIteration is captured by a bare "except", as is any
    exception.

Specification: Generators and Exception Propagation

    >>> def f():
    ...     return 1//0
    >>> def g():
    ...     yield f()  # the zero division exception propagates
    ...     yield 42   # and we'll never get here
    >>> k = g()
    >>> k.next()
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
      File "<stdin>", line 2, in g
      File "<stdin>", line 2, in f
    ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero
    >>> k.next()  # and the generator cannot be resumed
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    StopIteration
    >>>

Specification: Try/Except/Finally

    >>> def f():
    ...     try:
    ...         yield 1
    ...         try:
    ...             yield 2
    ...             1//0

Another famous problem:  generate all integers of the form
    2**i * 3**j  * 5**k
in increasing order, where i,j,k >= 0.  Trickier than it may look at first!
Try writing it without generators, and correctly, and without generating
3 internal results for each result output.

>>> def times(n, g):
...     for i in g:
...         yield n * i
>>> firstn(times(10, intsfrom(1)), 10)
[10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100]

>>> def merge(g, h):
...     ng = g.next()
...     nh = h.next()
...     while 1:
...         if ng < nh:
...             yield ng
...             ng = g.next()
...         elif ng > nh:
...             yield nh
...             nh = h.next()
...         else:
...             yield ng
...             ng = g.next()
...             nh = h.next()

The following works, but is doing a whale of a lot of redundant work --
it's not clear how to get the internal uses of m235 to share a single
generator.  Note that me_times2 (etc) each need to see every element in the
result sequence.  So this is an example where lazy lists are more natural
(you can look at the head of a lazy list any number of times).

>>> def m235():
...     yield 1
...     me_times2 = times(2, m235())
...     me_times3 = times(3, m235())
...     me_times5 = times(5, m235())
...     for i in merge(merge(me_times2,
...                          me_times3),
...                    me_times5):
...         yield i

Don't print "too many" of these -- the implementation above is extremely
inefficient:  each call of m235() leads to 3 recursive calls, and in
turn each of those 3 more, and so on, and so on, until we've descended
enough levels to satisfy the print stmts.  Very odd:  when I printed 5
lines of results below, this managed to screw up Win98's malloc in "the
usual" way, i.e. the heap grew over 4Mb so Win98 started fragmenting
address space, and it *looked* like a very slow leak.

>>> result = m235()
>>> for i in range(3):
...     print firstn(result, 15)

Heh.  Here's one way to get a shared list, complete with an excruciating
namespace renaming trick.  The *pretty* part is that the times() and merge()
functions can be reused as-is, because they only assume their stream
arguments are iterable -- a LazyList is the same as a generator to times().

>>> class LazyList:
...     def __init__(self, g):
...         self.sofar = []
...         self.fetch = g.next
...
...     def __getitem__(self, i):
...         sofar, fetch = self.sofar, self.fetch
...         while i >= len(sofar):
...             sofar.append(fetch())
...         return sofar[i]

>>> def m235():
...     yield 1
...     # Gack:  m235 below actually refers to a LazyList.
...     me_times2 = times(2, m235)
...     me_times3 = times(3, m235)
...     me_times5 = times(5, m235)

...                    me_times5):

Print as many of these as you like -- *this* implementation is memory-
efficient.

# conjoin is a simple backtracking generator, named in honor of Icon's
# "conjunction" control structure.  Pass a list of no-argument functions
# that return iterable objects.  Easiest to explain by example:  assume the
# function list [x, y, z] is passed.  Then conjoin acts like:
#
# def g():
#     values = [None] * 3
#     for values[0] in x():
#         for values[1] in y():
#             for values[2] in z():
#                 yield values
#
# So some 3-lists of values *may* be generated, each time we successfully
# get into the innermost loop.  If an iterator fails (is exhausted) before
# then, it "backtracks" to get the next value from the nearest enclosing
# iterator (the one "to the left"), and starts all over again at the next
# slot (pumps a fresh iterator).  Of course this is most useful when the
# iterators have side-effects, so that which values *can* be generated at
# each slot depend on the values iterated at previous slots.

def conjoin(gs):

    values = [None] * len(gs)

    for x in gen(0):

# That works fine, but recursing a level and checking i against len(gs) for
# each item produced is inefficient.  By doing manual loop unrolling across
# generator boundaries, it's possible to eliminate most of that overhead.
# This isn't worth the bother *in general* for generators, but conjoin() is
# a core building block for some CPU-intensive generator applications.

# And one more approach:  For backtracking apps like the Knight's Tour
# solver below, the number of backtracking levels can be enormous (one
# level per square, for the Knight's Tour, so that e.g. a 100x100 board
# needs 10,000 levels).  In such cases Python is likely to run out of
# stack space due to recursion.  So here's a recursion-free version of
# conjoin too.
# NOTE WELL:  This allows large problems to be solved with only trivial
# demands on stack space.  Without explicitly resumable generators, this is
# much harder to achieve.  OTOH, this is much slower (up to a factor of 2)

conjoin_tests = """

Generate the 3-bit binary numbers in order.  This illustrates dumbest-
possible use of conjoin, just to generate the full cross-product.

>>> for c in conjoin([lambda: iter((0, 1))] * 3):
...     print c
[0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 1]
[0, 1, 0]
[0, 1, 1]
[1, 0, 0]
[1, 0, 1]
[1, 1, 0]
[1, 1, 1]

For efficiency in typical backtracking apps, conjoin() yields the same list
object each time.  So if you want to save away a full account of its
generated sequence, you need to copy its results.

>>> def gencopy(iterator):
...     for x in iterator:
...         yield x[:]

>>> for n in range(10):
...     all = list(gencopy(conjoin([lambda: iter((0, 1))] * n)))
...     print n, len(all), all[0] == [0] * n, all[-1] == [1] * n
0 1 1 1
1 2 1 1
2 4 1 1
3 8 1 1
4 16 1 1
5 32 1 1
6 64 1 1
7 128 1 1
8 256 1 1
9 512 1 1

And run an 8-queens solver.

>>> q = Queens(8)
>>> LIMIT = 2
>>> count = 0
>>> for row2col in q.solve():
...     count += 1
...     if count <= LIMIT:
...         print "Solution", count
...         q.printsolution(row2col)

>>> print count, "solutions in all."
92 solutions in all.

And run a Knight's Tour on a 10x10 board.  Note that there are about
20,000 solutions even on a 6x6 board, so don't dare run this to exhaustion.
