[Python-Dev] PEP 289 - Generator Expressions - Let's Move Forward

We need reports from people writing real code with generator expressions. It's hard to guess if we'll get enough substantial feedback in the alpha releases. The kind of issues we're dealing with usually manifest themselves in real programs rather than toy examples; not sure that an alpha will get that kind of use.

An interesting idea might be to hack the standard library replacing every occurrence of list comprehensions with generator expressions, and check the respective test cases and/or applications using them.
