SF patch #872326: Generator expression implementation (Code contributed by Jiwon Seo.) The documentation portion of the patch is being re-worked and will be checked-in soon. Likewise, PEP 289 will be updated to reflect Guido's rationale for the design decisions on binding behavior (as described in in his patch comments and in discussions on python-dev). The test file, test_genexps.py, is written in doctest format and is meant to exercise all aspects of the the patch. Further additions are welcome from everyone. Please stress test this new feature as much as possible before the alpha release.

/* A pthread mutex isn't sufficient to model the Python lock type
 * because, according to Draft 5 of the docs (P1003.4a/D5), both of the
 * following are undefined:
 *  -> a thread tries to lock a mutex it already has locked
 *  -> a thread tries to unlock a mutex locked by a different thread
 * pthread mutexes are designed for serializing threads over short pieces
 * of code anyway, so wouldn't be an appropriate implementation of
 * Python's locks regardless.
 *
 * The pthread_lock struct implements a Python lock as a "locked?" bit
 * and a <condition, mutex> pair.  In general, if the bit can be acquired
 * instantly, it is, else the pair is used to block the thread until the
 * bit is cleared.     9 May 1994 tim@ksr.com
