generator object python

1# A generator-function is defined like a normal function, 
2# but whenever it needs to generate a value, 
3# it does so with the yield keyword rather than return. 
4# If the body of a def contains yield, 
5# the function automatically becomes a generator function.
6# Python 3 example
