I think this code should be just equivalent to this code def g(): temp = [(yield i) for i in range(10)] return (v for v in temp) But then you get a non-lazy iterable, which defeats the purpose of using a generator expression -- you might as well have used a comprehension to begin with. This could be just a semantic equivalence (mental model), not how it should be internally implemented.
