Using Generators and their expressions - BeerLover - Mar-17-2017
I am trying to get my head around generators. I do not really understand the concept of generators and their expressions, however I read what they are used for and it seems that I might need them going further when learning Python (3.6).
There is this code. And the printing just won't work:
(Python 3.6 (spyder3))
def simple_generator_function(): yield 1 yield 2 yield 3 our_generator = simple_generator_function() for i in list(our_generator): print((i))
Output:Error:
File "...\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyder\utils\site\sitecustomize.py", line 102, in execfile
exec(compile(f.read(), filename, 'exec'), namespace)
...
print((i))

Works fine for me, prints 1, 2, 3. It must be your Anaconda/Spyder installation. Can you print other things?
p.s. Use python tags (https://python-forum.io/misc.php?action=help&hid=25), I added them for you this time.

Thank you for the reply.There was indeed a problem with spyder. Just reinstalled everything and it works fine now.

Pretty good explanation here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_(computer_programming)
