generator_tools 0.1.1

generator_tools enable copying and pickling generators

The generator tools package enables copying and pickling running generators in
CPython ( you don't need Stackless Python ).

Usage
-----

from generator_tools.copygenerators import*
from generator_tools.picklegenerators import*

def f(start):
i = start
while i<start+10:
yield i
i+=1

>>> f_gen = f(5)
>>> f_gen.next() # or next(f_gen) in Python 3.0
5
>>> f_gen.next()
6
>>> g_gen = copy_generator(f_gen)
>>> h_gen = copy_generator(f_gen)
>>> g_gen.next()
7
>>> h_gen.next()
7
>>> pickler = GeneratorPickler("test.pkl")
>>> pickler.pickle_generator(g_gen)
>>> k_gen = pickler.unpickle_generator()
>>> list(g_gen) == list(k_gen)
True
