[James William Pye]
Can access to the generator type(gentype in ceval.c) and associated data/structures be made available in a public interface/header(genobject.h)?
Possibly, if someone wants it enough to make a patch (including doc changes). There are many types that aren't exposed at the C level, BTW. Advertising their internals has an inhibiting effect on evolution. The generator type has been around long enough w/o change that the value in keeping it private has diminished.
I know I can get the type by compiling a little generator and fetching its type, but that seems to be a bit redundant as each project that needs it, needs to make its own, nonstandardized version of access.
Anyone who wants it can do
from types import GeneratorTypetoday (types is a standard Python module).
