2. 历史动机与发展脉络
生成器与协程并非 Python 独创,其理论根源可追溯至 1958 年的协程概念与 1970 年代的惰性求值思想。理解这一脉络有助于把握 Python 设计的取舍。
2.1 协程的理论起源
- 1958:Melvin Conway 提出”协程”(coroutine)概念,用于 COBOL 编译器的词法分析。其核心是”对称的多入口函数”,与子例程(subroutine)的”调用-返回”模型相对;
- 1963:Joel W. W. 在 Simula 67 中实现”准并发”协程;
- 1972:CLU 语言(Barbara Liskov)引入迭代器抽象,奠定生成器的语言基础;
- 1975:Peter J. Landin 在 ISWIM 中使用流(stream)实现惰性求值;
- 1976:Rod Burstall 与 John Darlington 在 NPL 中明确”生成器即惰性列表”;
- 1980:C. D. Marlin 在《Coroutines: A Programming Methodology, a Language Design and an Implementation》中系统形式化协程语义;
- 1988:SML/NJ 引入”延迟序列”(lazy sequence);
- 1995:Icon 语言将生成器作为一等公民,所有表达式皆可回溯;
- 1999:Python 1.5.1 引入
__getitem__协议的隐式迭代; - 2001:Python 2.2(PEP 255)正式引入生成器。
2.2 Python 生成器与协程演进时间线
| 时间 | 版本 | 重要变化 |
|---|---|---|
| 2001 | Python 2.2 | PEP 255 引入生成器,yield 仅作为语句 |
| 2005 | Python 2.5 | PEP 342 增强 yield:表达式化、send()、throw()、close()、GeneratorExit、Return |
| 2010 | Python 2.7 | yield from 提案初步讨论(PEP 380 草案) |
| 2012 | Python 3.3 | PEP 380 yield from 正式落地,子生成器委托 |
| 2014 | Python 3.4 | PEP 3156 asyncio 基于 yield from 实现协程 |
| 2015 | Python 3.5 | PEP 492 async def/await 原生语法,生成器协程逐渐淡出 |
| 2017 | Python 3.6 | PEP 525 异步生成器(async yield);PEP 530 异步推导式 |
| 2018 | Python 3.7 | async/await 成为保留字;@asyncio.coroutine 标记为弃用 |
| 2019 | Python 3.8 | yield from 在异步上下文中弃用,必须用 await |
| 2021 | Python 3.10 | async for 支持异步生成器改进;typing.AsyncGenerator 类型完善 |
| 2023 | Python 3.12 | 生成器性能优化,PyGenObject 内存布局精简 |
| 2025 | Python 3.13+ | 实验性 free-threaded 构建(PEP 703)下生成器语义调整 |
2.3 PEP 255 的设计目标
PEP 255(Simple Generators,由 Neil Schemenauer、Tim Peters、Magnus Lie Hetland 于 2001 年提出)明确生成器的设计动机:
- 简化迭代器编写:传统迭代器需手写
__iter__与__next__,逻辑分散;生成器自动保存局部状态; - 惰性求值:仅在
next()调用时计算下一值,避免一次性生成大量数据; - 流式处理:处理无穷序列或大文件时无需全部加载到内存;
- 状态机简化:复杂状态可保存在生成器局部变量中,无需显式状态字段;
- 协程雏形:虽 2.2 版本未提供
send,但yield的暂停-恢复语义已奠定协程基础。
2.4 PEP 342 与协程觉醒
PEP 342(Coroutines via Enhanced Generators,由 Guido van Rossum、Phillip J. Eby 于 2005 年提出)将生成器升级为协程:
yield表达式化:x = yield value允许双向通信;send(value):从外部向生成器注入值;throw(type, value, traceback):从外部向生成器注入异常;close():显式关闭生成器,触发GeneratorExit;GeneratorExit异常:标识生成器被关闭;return在生成器中合法:返回值通过StopIteration.value传递(Python 3.3+ 明确)。
PEP 342 的核心洞察:协程 = 生成器 + 双向通信 + 异常注入。Eby 在《Generator Tricks for Systems Programmers》中展示了基于生成器的协程可用于状态机、管道、协程调度器,催生了 Twisted 的 inlineCallbacks、Tornado 的 gen.coroutine、asyncio 的早期实现。
2.5 PEP 380 与 yield from
PEP 380(Syntax for Delegating to a Subgenerator,由 Greg Ewing 于 2011 年提出)引入 yield from:
- 委托子生成器:
yield from subgen()自动转发send、throw、close; - 返回值传播:
return value在子生成器中的值成为yield from表达式的值; - 简化组合:避免手写
for x in subgen: yield x的样板代码; asyncio基石:在async def出现前,yield from是 asyncio 的核心语法;- 协程组合原语:为后来的
await提供了语义基础。
2.6 PEP 492 与协程语法升级
PEP 492(Coroutines with async and await syntax,由 Yury Selivanov 于 2015 年提出)将协程从生成器机制中独立出来:
async def:原生协程,与生成器显式区分;await:取代yield from用于异步上下文;async for/async with:异步迭代与异步上下文管理;__await__协议:统一 awaitable 对象接口;- PEP 525 异步生成器:
async def+yield,允许在协程中产出值。
2.7 与其他语言的对比
| 语言 | 协程机制 | 暂停语法 | 恢复语法 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Python | 生成器 + async/await | yield / await | next() / send() / 事件循环 |
| JavaScript | 生成器 + async/await | yield / await | .next(value) / 微任务 |
| Lua | 协程(一等公民) | coroutine.yield | coroutine.resume(co, ...) |
| Go | goroutine + channel | chan <- / <-chan | chan <- value |
| Ruby | Fiber | Fiber.yield | fiber.resume(value) |
| C++ | C++20 协程 | co_yield / co_return | handle.resume() |
| Rust | async/await(无栈协程) | .await | executor 调度 |
| Kotlin | 协程(无栈) | suspend | runBlocking / scope |
| Scheme | call/cc | call/cc | continuation 调用 |
| Icon | 生成器(默认) | suspend | 迭代上下文 |
关键差异:
- 有栈协程(Lua、Ruby Fiber、Go goroutine):每个协程有独立栈,可在任意嵌套深度挂起;
- 无栈协程(Python、JavaScript、Rust、C#):协程状态保存在堆上的对象中,只能在
yield/await处挂起; - 对称协程(Lua、Go):协程间平等切换;
- 非对称协程(Python、Ruby):协程与调用者之间是主从关系,
yield总是返回到调用点。
3. 形式化定义
3.1 协程的代数定义
设 为程序状态集合(包括局部变量、指令指针、操作数栈), 为值集合, 为事件集合(包括 send、throw、close)。协程(coroutine)定义为五元组:
其中:
- 为可枚举的状态集合;
- 为初始状态;
- 为事件集合;
- 为状态转移函数;
- 为 yield 函数,产出值并返回新状态。
子例程(subroutine) 是协程的特例,其转移函数满足”严格调用-返回”约束:
协程放宽了这一约束:允许在任意 yield 点挂起,并从该点恢复执行。
3.2 生成器状态机
Python 生成器对象在执行过程中处于以下状态之一:
状态转移图:
\xymatrix{ \text{GEN\_CREATED} \ar[r]^{\text{next/send(None)}} & \text{GEN\_SUSPENDED} \\ \text{GEN\_SUSPENDED} \ar[r]^{\text{next/send/throw}} & \text{GEN\_RUNNING} \\ \text{GEN\_RUNNING} \ar[r]^{\text{yield}} & \text{GEN\_SUSPENDED} \\ \text{GEN\_RUNNING} \ar[r]^{\text{return/StopIteration}} & \text{GEN\_CLOSED} \\ \text{GEN\_SUSPENDED} \ar[r]^{\text{close}} & \text{GEN\_CLOSED} }形式化地,生成器的状态转移可表示为:
关键性质:
GEN_RUNNING状态下不可再次调用next/send(防止递归调用同一生成器);GEN_CLOSED状态下任何操作均抛出StopIteration;- 生成器对象不可重入,迭代完毕后需重新创建。
3.3 yield 表达式的形式化语义
yield expr 是一个表达式,其求值规则可形式化为:
执行流程:
- 求值
expr得到 ; - 保存当前帧栈状态 到生成器对象;
- 挂起执行,向调用者返回 (封装为
(value, done=False)); - 等待恢复事件 ;
- 当
send(value)或next()触发恢复时,yield表达式的值为:send(v)时:;next()时:。
3.4 send / throw / close 的操作语义
设生成器 当前状态为 :
send(value):
throw(type, value, traceback):
close():
3.5 yield from 的委托语义
yield from expr 形式化为:
完整等价语义(PEP 380 官方说明):
_i = iter(EXPR)
try:
_y = next(_i)
except StopIteration as _e:
_r = _e.value
else:
while 1:
try:
_s = yield _y
except GeneratorExit as _e:
_i.close()
raise _e
except BaseException as _e:
_m = _i.throw
if _m:
_y = _m(_e)
else:
raise _e
else:
try:
_y = _i.send(_s)
except StopIteration as _e:
_r = _e.value
break
RESULT = _r
关键语义:
send、throw、close透明转发到子生成器;- 子生成器的
return value成为yield from表达式的值; GeneratorExit不被透明转发,而是触发子生成器的close()。
3.6 协程与生成器的关系
Python 中协程与生成器的关系经历了三个阶段:
阶段一(Python 2.5 - 3.4):基于生成器的协程
阶段二(Python 3.5 - 3.10):原生协程与生成器并存
阶段三(Python 3.11+):原生协程主导
形式化地,原生协程与生成器的核心区别:
| 性质 | 生成器 | 原生协程 |
|---|---|---|
| 关键字 | def + yield | async def |
| 返回类型 | Generator | Coroutine |
| 迭代协议 | 支持 __iter__/__next__ | 不支持 |
await 协议 | 不支持 | 支持 __await__ |
yield from | 委托子生成器 | 弃用,应使用 await |
4. 理论推导与原理解析
4.1 CPS 变换与生成器状态机
CPS(Continuation-Passing Style)变换 是协程编译的核心技术。给定一个直接风格的函数:
def f(x):
y = g(x)
return y + 1
CPS 变换后:
def f_cps(x, k):
def k_g(y):
k(y + 1)
g_cps(x, k_g)
每个”剩余计算”被显式封装为续延(continuation)k。Python 生成器通过保存帧栈实现了类似效果:yield 点相当于”分界点”,恢复执行相当于”调用续延”。
形式化地,生成器的状态转移可视为 CPS 中的续延链:
每次 yield 保存当前续延,next/send 调用该续延。
4.2 协作式调度的数学分析
协程采用协作式调度(cooperative scheduling):
设 个协程组成的协作调度系统,每个协程 的执行时间为 ,yield 频率为 :
- 平均响应时间:;
- 公平性:若所有 相等,则 ;
- 饥饿风险:若某协程 长时间不 yield,其他协程被阻塞。
与抢占式调度的对比:
| 维度 | 协作式(生成器协程) | 抢占式(OS 线程) |
|---|---|---|
| 切换时机 | 仅在 yield 点 | 任意时刻 |
| 上下文切换开销 | ~100ns | ~1-10μs |
| 内存开销 | 帧栈(~1KB) | 内核栈(8MB) + 用户栈 |
| 共享状态保护 | 无需锁 | 需要锁/原子操作 |
| CPU 利用率 | 单核 | 多核 |
| 公平性 | 依赖协程纪律 | OS 调度器保证 |
4.3 生成器的内存模型
CPython 中生成器对象 PyGenObject 的内存布局(CPython 3.12):
typedef struct {
PyObject_HEAD
PyCodeObject *gi_code;
PyObject *gi_weakreflist;
PyObject *gi_name;
PyObject *gi_qualname;
char gi_hooks_initing;
char gi_hooks_active;
char gi_resume_frame_depth;
_PyGenObjectFrame *gi_frame;
PyObject *gi_origin_or_finalizer;
char gi_frame_state; // CREATED, SUSPENDED, RUNNING, COMPLETED
PyObject *gi_cr_name;
...
} PyGenObject;
内存开销:
PyObject_HEAD:16 字节;gi_code指针:8 字节(共享函数代码对象,不重复存储);gi_frame指针:8 字节(仅挂起时分配,包含局部变量、操作数栈、指令指针);- 其他字段:约 32 字节;
- 总计:~80 字节基础开销 + 帧栈(按需分配)。
帧栈保存策略:
- 生成器调用
next()时,从gi_frame恢复执行; yield时,保存当前帧栈到gi_frame;- 生成器结束时,释放
gi_frame; - 与函数调用栈不同,生成器帧栈在堆上分配,生命周期独立于调用者。
4.4 yield from 的代数性质
yield from 满足以下代数性质:
1. 单位律(Identity):
2. 结合律(Associativity):
3. 分配律(Distributes over composition):
其中 表示 itertools.chain。
4. 返回值传播:
这些性质使 yield from 成为协程组合的代数基础,与 await 的语义一致。
4.5 生成器与单子
生成器可视为 状态单子(State Monad)的实例:
- return/pure:
yield value将值注入生成器序列; - bind/flatMap:
yield from gen将子生成器展平到父生成器。
满足单子三定律:
- 左单位律:
yield from (lambda x: yield x)(v) ≡ yield v; - 右单位律:
yield from (lambda: yield v)() ≡ yield v; - 结合律:
yield from (yield from g1) g2 ≡ yield from g1 then yield from g2。
这使得生成器可以像列表一样组合,同时保持惰性求值。
4.6 生成器与惰性求值
生成器实现了”按需计算”(call-by-need):
其中 thunk 是延迟计算的”索求”。每次 next() 强制求值一个 thunk,得到下一个值与新 thunk。
与 Haskell 的对比:
-- Haskell 惰性列表
ones = 1 : ones
take 3 ones -- [1, 1, 1]
# Python 生成器
def ones():
while True:
yield 1
import itertools
list(itertools.islice(ones(), 3)) # [1, 1, 1]
Python 通过显式 next() 控制 thunk 求值时机,Haskell 通过运行时自动管理。

7. 常见陷阱与最佳实践
7.1 常见陷阱
陷阱 1:忘记启动生成器
"""错误:直接 send 非 None 值。"""
def gen():
while True:
value = yield
print(f"收到: {value}")
g = gen()
g.send("hello") # TypeError: can't send non-None value to a just-started generator
# 正确做法
g = gen()
next(g) # 或 g.send(None),启动生成器
g.send("hello") # OK
陷阱 2:生成器不可重入
"""错误:迭代完毕后再次迭代。"""
def gen():
yield 1
yield 2
g = gen()
print(list(g)) # [1, 2]
print(list(g)) # [] - 空列表,因为生成器已耗尽
# 正确做法:每次重新创建
def make_gen():
yield 1
yield 2
print(list(make_gen())) # [1, 2]
print(list(make_gen())) # [1, 2]
陷阱 3:在生成器中捕获 GeneratorExit 后 yield
"""错误:捕获 GeneratorExit 后继续 yield。"""
def bad_gen():
try:
yield 1
except GeneratorExit:
yield 2 # RuntimeError: generator ignored GeneratorExit
g = bad_gen()
next(g)
g.close() # 抛出 RuntimeError
# 正确做法:GeneratorExit 必须重新抛出
def good_gen():
try:
yield 1
except GeneratorExit:
print("清理资源")
raise # 必须重新抛出
陷阱 4:生成器中的资源泄漏
"""错误:未关闭的生成器导致资源泄漏。"""
def read_file(path):
f = open(path)
try:
for line in f:
yield line
finally:
f.close()
g = read_file("data.txt")
next(g) # 读取第一行
# 如果不调用 close(),文件句柄不会立即关闭
# 正确做法 1:显式 close
g = read_file("data.txt")
try:
print(next(g))
finally:
g.close()
# 正确做法 2:使用 with 语句(Python 3.7+ contextlib.closing 或直接 with)
from contextlib import closing
with closing(read_file("data.txt")) as g:
for line in g:
print(line)
break # 提前退出也会触发 close
陷阱 5:递归生成器的栈深度
"""错误:深度递归导致栈溢出。"""
def traverse_deep(tree):
"""深度优先遍历。"""
yield tree.value
for child in tree.children:
yield from traverse_deep(child) # 递归深度受栈限制
# 深度 1000+ 时会 RecursionError
# 正确做法:显式栈模拟
def traverse_iter(tree):
"""迭代式深度优先遍历。"""
stack = [tree]
while stack:
node = stack.pop()
yield node.value
stack.extend(reversed(node.children))
陷阱 6:生成器协程与原生协程混用
"""错误:在 async 函数中使用 yield from。"""
async def bad_async():
yield from some_generator() # SyntaxError: 'yield from' inside async function
# 正确做法:使用 async for 或 await
async def good_async():
async for item in async_generator():
process(item)
async def good_async_await():
result = await some_coroutine()
陷阱 7:生成器中的闭包变量
"""错误:闭包捕获变量在延迟求值时已变。"""
funcs = [(lambda: i) for i in range(3)]
print([f() for f in funcs]) # [2, 2, 2] - 全是 2
# 生成器版本同样有此问题
def gen_funcs():
for i in range(3):
yield lambda: i
funcs = list(gen_funcs())
print([f() for f in funcs]) # [2, 2, 2]
# 正确做法:使用默认参数绑定
funcs = [(lambda i=i: i) for i in range(3)]
print([f() for f in funcs]) # [0, 1, 2]
7.2 最佳实践
实践 1:使用类型注解
from collections.abc import Generator
# Generator[YieldType, SendType, ReturnType]
def counter() -> Generator[int, str, bool]:
count = 0
while count < 10:
msg = yield count
if msg == "stop":
return False
count += 1
return True
实践 2:始终在 finally 中清理资源
def safe_resource():
resource = acquire_resource()
try:
while True:
data = yield resource.process()
resource.feed(data)
finally:
# 无论正常结束、异常还是 close,都会执行
resource.release()
实践 3:使用 yield from 替代手动迭代
# 不推荐
def chain_manual(*iterables):
for it in iterables:
for item in it:
yield item
# 推荐
def chain_elegant(*iterables):
for it in iterables:
yield from it
实践 4:异步生成器使用 async with
async def safe_async_gen():
async with aiofiles.open("data.txt") as f:
async for line in f:
yield line
实践 5:限制生成器递归深度
import sys
def safe_traverse(tree, max_depth=None):
if max_depth is None:
max_depth = sys.getrecursionlimit() // 2
yield from _traverse(tree, 0, max_depth)
def _traverse(node, depth, max_depth):
if depth > max_depth:
raise RecursionError(f"深度超过 {max_depth}")
yield node
for child in node.children:
yield from _traverse(child, depth + 1, max_depth)
实践 6:使用 itertools 工具函数
from itertools import islice, takewhile, dropwhile, groupby
# 取前 N 个
list(islice(infinite_gen(), 10))
# 满足条件时停止
list(takewhile(lambda x: x < 5, naturals()))
# 跳过满足条件的
list(dropwhile(lambda x: x < 5, range(10)))
# 分组
for key, group in groupby(sorted(data, key=key_func), key=key_func):
process(key, list(group))
实践 7:生成器装饰器
from functools import wraps
from collections.abc import Generator
def safe_close(func):
"""确保生成器被正确关闭的装饰器。"""
@wraps(func)
def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
gen = func(*args, **kwargs)
try:
yield from gen
finally:
if isinstance(gen, Generator):
gen.close()
return wrapper
实践 8:使用 dataclass + 生成器构建管道
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class PipelineStage:
name: str
func: callable
def apply(self, data):
return self.func(data)
class PipelineBuilder:
def __init__(self):
self.stages: list[PipelineStage] = []
def add(self, name: str, func: callable) -> "PipelineBuilder":
self.stages.append(PipelineStage(name, func))
return self
def build(self, source):
data = source
for stage in self.stages:
data = stage.apply(data)
yield from data

10. 练习题
10.1 选择题
1. 下列关于 Python 生成器的描述,正确的是?
A. 生成器函数调用后立即执行函数体
B. 生成器对象可以多次迭代
C. yield 表达式的值是 send() 传入的值
D. 生成器在 return 后仍可继续 yield
答案:C
解析:yield expr 是一个表达式,其值由 send(value) 传入;若通过 next() 调用,则 yield 表达式值为 None。A 错误(调用生成器函数返回生成器对象,不执行函数体);B 错误(生成器一次性,迭代完毕后再次迭代为空);D 错误(return 后生成器结束,抛出 StopIteration)。
2. 执行以下代码的输出是?
def gen():
x = yield 1
y = yield x + 10
return x + y
g = gen()
print(next(g))
print(g.send(5))
try:
g.send(3)
except StopIteration as e:
print(e.value)
A. 1, 15, 8 B. 1, 15, StopIteration: 8 C. 1, 15, 8 D. 1, 10, 8
答案:C
解析:
next(g):启动生成器,执行到x = yield 1,返回 1;g.send(5):x = 5,执行到y = yield x + 10 = 15,返回 15;g.send(3):y = 3,return x + y = 8,抛出StopIteration(8),e.value = 8。
10.2 填空题
1. 以下代码输出是?
def gen():
yield from [1, 2, 3]
yield from "abc"
return "done"
g = gen()
result = list(g)
print(result)
答案:[1, 2, 3, 'a', 'b', 'c']
解析:yield from 展开迭代器,list() 收集所有 yield 的值,return 的值通过 StopIteration.value 获取,不会被 list() 收集。
2. 以下代码输出是?
from itertools import islice
def fibonacci():
a, b = 0, 1
while True:
yield a
a, b = b, a + b
result = list(islice(fibonacci(), 5, 10))
print(result)
答案:[5, 8, 13, 21, 34]
解析:islice(gen, 5, 10) 跳过前 5 个,取接下来 5 个。Fibonacci 序列:0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,跳过前 5 个(0,1,1,2,3),取第 6-10 个(5,8,13,21,34)。
10.3 编程题
1. 实现一个 buffered 生成器,将输入流按指定大小缓冲后输出。
from collections.abc import Iterable, Generator
def buffered(items: Iterable, size: int) -> Generator[list, None, None]:
"""将输入流按 size 大小缓冲。
Args:
items: 输入可迭代对象。
size: 缓冲大小。
Yields:
长度为 size 的列表(最后一批可能更小)。
>>> list(buffered([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 2))
[[1, 2], [3, 4], [5]]
"""
buffer = []
for item in items:
buffer.append(item)
if len(buffer) == size:
yield buffer
buffer = []
if buffer:
yield buffer
2. 实现一个 chunked_async 异步生成器,按块读取异步流。
import asyncio
from collections.abc import AsyncGenerator, AsyncIterable
async def chunked_async(
source: AsyncIterable, chunk_size: int
) -> AsyncGenerator[list, None]:
"""按块读取异步流。
Args:
source: 异步可迭代对象。
chunk_size: 块大小。
Yields:
长度为 chunk_size 的列表。
"""
chunk = []
async for item in source:
chunk.append(item)
if len(chunk) == chunk_size:
yield chunk
chunk = []
if chunk:
yield chunk
3. 实现一个 tee 函数,将一个生成器复制为多个独立迭代器。
from collections import deque
from collections.abc import Generator, Iterable
from typing import TypeVar
T = TypeVar("T")
def tee(iterable: Iterable[T], n: int = 2) -> list[Generator[T, None, None]]:
"""将一个可迭代对象复制为 n 个独立生成器。
Args:
iterable: 输入可迭代对象。
n: 复制份数。
Returns:
包含 n 个生成器的列表。
>>> a, b = tee([1, 2, 3], 2)
>>> list(a)
[1, 2, 3]
>>> list(b)
[1, 2, 3]
"""
queues = [deque() for _ in range(n)]
def gen(queue):
while True:
if not queue:
try:
value = next(iter(iterable))
except StopIteration:
return
for q in queues:
q.append(value)
yield queue.popleft()
return [gen(q) for q in queues]
10.4 思考题
1. 为什么 Python 的生成器不能”重置”(重新从头迭代)?这带来了哪些优势和劣势?
参考答案:
优势:
- 内存效率:生成器无需保存已产出的值,只需当前状态;
- 简化语义:避免了”迭代器是否可重置”的状态判断;
- 安全性:避免资源被多次访问(如文件句柄、数据库游标)。
劣势:
- 不便性:需要重新创建生成器,可能丢失内部状态;
- 与列表不兼容:某些算法期望可重复迭代。
设计哲学:Python 强调”显式优于隐式”,若需可重置迭代器,应使用列表或自定义类。
2. yield from 与 for x in subgen: yield x 在性能、语义、异常处理上有何区别?
参考答案:
- 性能:
yield from直接调用子生成器的 C 实现,避免 Python 层的循环,快约 20%; - 语义:
yield from透明转发send、throw、close,手动迭代只产出值不转发; - 返回值:
yield from的返回值是子生成器的return值,手动迭代忽略返回值; - 异常处理:
yield from自动处理GeneratorExit,手动迭代需自行处理。
3. 异步生成器与同步生成器在哪些场景下应该选用?有何性能差异?
参考答案:
- 同步生成器:纯 CPU 计算、本地文件 I/O、内存数据处理;
- 异步生成器:网络 I/O、数据库查询、文件系统慢操作;
- 性能差异:异步生成器有事件循环开销(~50ns/切换),但避免阻塞事件循环,整体吞吐量更高。
