我不知道你说的昂贵的准备是什么意思，但我猜你确实有

data = ... # Expensive computation
y = FunctionWithYield(data)
for x in y: print(x)
#here must be something to reset 'y'
# this is expensive - data = ... # Expensive computation
# y = FunctionWithYield(data)
for x in y: print(x)

如果是这样的话，为什么不重用数据呢?

使用包装器函数来处理StopIteration

您可以为生成器生成函数编写一个简单的包装器函数，用于跟踪生成器耗尽的时间。它将使用生成器在迭代结束时抛出的StopIteration异常来完成此操作。

import types

def generator_wrapper(function=None, **kwargs):
    assert function is not None, "Please supply a function"
    def inner_func(function=function, **kwargs):
        generator = function(**kwargs)
        assert isinstance(generator, types.GeneratorType), "Invalid function"
        try:
            yield next(generator)
        except StopIteration:
            generator = function(**kwargs)
            yield next(generator)
    return inner_func

如上所述，当包装器函数捕获到StopIteration异常时，它只是重新初始化生成器对象(使用函数调用的另一个实例)。

然后，假设你定义了如下所示的生成器提供函数，你可以使用Python函数装饰器语法来隐式包装它:

@generator_wrapper
def generator_generating_function(**kwargs):
    for item in ["a value", "another value"]
        yield item

它可以通过code对象来实现。下面是一个例子。

code_str="y=(a for a in [1,2,3,4])"
code1=compile(code_str,'<string>','single')
exec(code1)
for i in y: print i

1 2 3 4

for i in y: print i


exec(code1)
for i in y: print i

1 2 3 4

好吧，你说你想多次调用一个生成器，但初始化是昂贵的…像这样的东西怎么样?

class InitializedFunctionWithYield(object):
    def __init__(self):
        # do expensive initialization
        self.start = 5

    def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        # do cheap iteration
        for i in xrange(5):
            yield self.start + i

y = InitializedFunctionWithYield()

for x in y():
    print x

for x in y():
    print x

或者，你也可以创建自己的类，遵循迭代器协议，并定义某种“reset”函数。

class MyIterator(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.reset()

    def reset(self):
        self.i = 5

    def __iter__(self):
        return self

    def next(self):
        i = self.i
        if i > 0:
            self.i -= 1
            return i
        else:
            raise StopIteration()

my_iterator = MyIterator()

for x in my_iterator:
    print x

print 'resetting...'
my_iterator.reset()

for x in my_iterator:
    print x

如果希望使用预定义的参数集多次重用此生成器，可以使用functools.partial。

from functools import partial
func_with_yield = partial(FunctionWithYield, arg0, arg1)

for i in range(100):
    for x in func_with_yield():
        print(x)

这将把生成器函数包装到另一个函数中，因此每次调用func_with_yield()时，它都会创建相同的生成器函数。

如果你的生成器在某种意义上是纯的，它的输出只依赖于传递的参数和步长，并且你希望生成的生成器是可重新启动的，这里有一个排序代码片段可能很方便:

import copy

def generator(i):
    yield from range(i)

g = generator(10)
print(list(g))
print(list(g))

class GeneratorRestartHandler(object):
    def __init__(self, gen_func, argv, kwargv):
        self.gen_func = gen_func
        self.argv = copy.copy(argv)
        self.kwargv = copy.copy(kwargv)
        self.local_copy = iter(self)

    def __iter__(self):
        return self.gen_func(*self.argv, **self.kwargv)

    def __next__(self):
        return next(self.local_copy)

def restartable(g_func: callable) -> callable:
    def tmp(*argv, **kwargv):
        return GeneratorRestartHandler(g_func, argv, kwargv)

    return tmp

@restartable
def generator2(i):
    yield from range(i)

g = generator2(10)
print(next(g))
print(list(g))
print(list(g))
print(next(g))

输出:

[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
[]
0
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
1
