That’s the difference between an “iterator” and an “iterable”. An “iterable” has an ‗‗iter‗‗ method, which returns an iterator when it is called. The iterator is what returns the elements of the sequence, until it is exhausted and can’t be called again. Because range() is an iterable, you can reuse a single range object to return any number of iterators over that range.

Very insightful video! One other place I've seen generators used frequently is for API pagination. If, for instance, if you want to get all 100 records from an API, and the API limits your query to 10 records per call, you may not want to wait for all 10 calls. Instead you create a generator that calls the API only when you've completed working with the first page and are ready to move onto the second, etc.

Database queries is a good example. A very common sequence is * Create a cursor object * Execute a query on the cursor * Iterate over the results returned from the cursor * Close the cursor. You can wrap all these steps up in a single generator function, which takes the query and lets you iterate over the results in a single step.

I was impressed. Just one observation: if you try to debug an example (I did it with example_composable()) and you want to see what happens with the data in the generator after each step, transforming the generator to a list (I am using PyCharm), you will be surprised to discover that the list (and the generator itself) is empty after the very first conversion (and all subsequent generator steps as well). The example runs in execution mode, but delivers wrong results if you debug. I have not found a suitable means to overcome this limitation, so far. Do you have any presentable idea?
