generator

Created by calling a function containing yield, or by generator expressions. One-shot iterators.

Method	Returns	Meaning
.send(value)	any	Resume and make value the result of the paused yield; returns the next yielded value. Non-None before the first yield raises TypeError; completion raises StopIteration
.throw(exception)	any	Raise at the paused yield; returns the next value if the generator catches and yields again, else the exception propagates
.close()	None	Raise GeneratorExit at the paused yield; finally cleanup runs first. Yielding while closing raises RuntimeError
.__iter__() / .__next__()	generator / any	Standard iteration; __next__ resumes with None
.__name__ / .__qualname__	string	Name of the creating generator function
