They 9 are normally created by iterating over a function that yields values, rather 10 than explicitly calling :c:func:`PyGen_New`. 11 12 13 .. c:type:: PyGenObject 14 15 The C structure used for generator objects. 16 17 18 .. c:var:: PyTypeObject PyGen_Type 19 20 The type object corresponding to generator objects. 21 22 23 .. c:function:: int PyGen_Check(ob) 24 25 Return true if *ob* is a generator object; *ob* must not be *NULL*. 26 27 28 .. c:function:: int PyGen_CheckExact(ob) 29 30 Return true if *ob*'s type is *PyGen_Type* is a generator object; *ob* must not 31 be *NULL*. 32 33 34 .. c:function:: PyObject* PyGen_New(PyFrameObject *frame) 35 36 Create and return a new generator object based on the *frame* object. A 37 reference to *frame* is stolen by this function. The parameter must not be 38 *NULL*. 39
