Graham Fawcett: > def fibonacci(): > a, b = 1, 1 > while True: > yield a > a, b = b, a + b This is my version I use (doctests and docstring removed), a bit faster with Python 2.x: def xfibonacci(): a, b = 0, 1 while 1: yield b a += b yield a b += a Thank you for your explanations. I am too much ignorant still to talk about those things :-) Bye, bearophile
