Ah, I see what you mean. I still think you're wrong, though! :-)
The 'for' loop is doing is basically this:
it = re.finditer(r'(\w+):(\w+)', text)
try:
while True:
match_object = next(it)
# body of loop
except StopIteration:
pass
re.finditer() it returns a generator which yields match objects.
What I think you're actually requesting (but not realising) is for the 'for' loop not just to iterate over the generator, but also over what the generator yields.
If you want re.finditer() to yield the groups then it has to return a generator which yields those groups, not match objects. |
