Function generators Python -

i trying implement function generator used n times. idea create generator object, assign object variable , call re-assigned variable function, example:

def generator:    [...]    yield ...  x in xrange(10):    function = generator    print function(50) 

when call print function, observe function(50) not called. instead output is: <generator object...>. trying use function 10 times assigning generator function, , using new variable generator function.

how can correct this?

generator functions return generator objects. need list(gen) convert them list or iterate on them.

>>> def testfunc(num):         in range(10, num):             yield   >>> testfunc(15) <generator object testfunc @ 0x02a18170> >>> list(testfunc(15)) [10, 11, 12, 13, 14] >>> elem in testfunc(15):         print elem   10 11 12 13 14
