Hi group,

Does D have anything like the generators of Python and some other languages?

Thanks.

Ranges serve some of the purposes that generators are often used for: http://dlang.org/phobos/std_range.html

But you can of course make true coroutine-based generators with fibres: http://dlang.org/phobos/core_thread.html#.Fiber

"fibre" is basically a synonym of "coroutine".

Here is an example of a generator fiber:

Thanks, will take a look.

There's a Generator class in std.concurrency. I haven't used Python all that much so I can't say for certain whether it is the same or not.
