  1. A generator expression is like an anonymous function that yields values. The expression itself looks like a list comprehension [FIXME have we introduced this yet?], but it’s wrapped in parentheses instead of square brackets. +
  2. A generator expression is like an anonymous function that yields values. The expression itself looks like a list comprehension [FIXME xref], but it’s wrapped in parentheses instead of square brackets.
  3. The generator expression returns… an iterator.
  4. Calling next(gen) returns the next value from the iterator.
  5. If you like, you can iterate through all the possible values and return a tuple, list, or set, by passing the generator expression to tuple(), list(), or set(). In these cases, you don’t need an extra set of parentheses — just pass the “bare” expression ord(c) for c in unique_characters to the tuple() function, and Python figures out that it’s a generator expression.
