Converting “yield from” statement to Python 2.7 code

by

I had a code below in Python 3.2 and I wanted to run it in Python 2.7. I did convert it (have put the code of missing_elements in both versions) but I am not sure if that is the most efficient way to do it. Basically what happens if there are two yield from calls like below in upper half and lower half in missing_element function? Are the entries from the two halves (upper and lower) appended to each other in one list so that the parent recursion function with the yield from call and use both the halves together?

When is not a good time to use python generators?

This is rather the inverse of What can you use Python generator functions for?: python generators, generator expressions, and the itertools module are some of my favorite features of python these days. They’re especially useful when setting up chains of operations to perform on a big pile of data–I often use them when processing DSV files.

Length of generator output

Python provides a nice method for getting length of an eager iterable, len(x) that is. But I couldn’t find anything similar for lazy iterables represented by generator comprehensions and functions. Of course, it is not hard to write something like: def iterlen(x): n = 0 try: while True: next(x) n += 1 except StopIteration: pass … Read more
