OK, then how about
Current:
"""
When a generator function is called, it returns an iterator known as a generator. That generator then controls the execution of a generator function. The execution starts when one of the generator’s methods is called.
"""
Proposed:
"""
When a generator function is called, it does not complete its execution immediately. Instead, it keeps its execution frame intact, and returns a special kind of iterator known as a generator. The iteration starts when one of the generator’s methods is called, and the generator executes within the existing generator frame, rather than creating a new one.
"""
This still seems to suggest that the generator uses the same frame as the generator function that created it; I was not aware that this was a guarantee. (Reusing the same frame, yes. Reusing that particular frame, no.) |
