(nettipäiväkirja 17.11.2017) I tried to find a succinct implementation of Erastothenes' sieve using Python generators. I was astounded that it took more time to find a decent one than to write it. So, I'm contributing my version:
from itertools import count def sieve(nums): p = next(nums) yield p yield from sieve(n for n in nums if n%p) def primes(): return sieve(count(2))
The versions here (http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/python/excerpt/pythonckbk_chap1/index1.html?page=2) or here (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2211990/how-to-implement-an-efficient-infinite-generator-of-prime-numbers-in-python) are IMNSHO much less representative.
