Micro library providing generates decorator

Generates is a micro library providing generates decorator.

The generates decorator can be used to easily create a function that returns a container like list or dict, but using generator syntax in the function body. For example:

@generates(list)
def get_numbers(n):
    for i in range(n):
        yield i

assert get_numbers(5) == [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

@generates(dict)
def get_map():
    yield ('key1', 'value1')
    yield ('key2', 'value2')

assert get_map() == {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
