python - Return multiple values over time

Question

Okay, so is there a way to return a value from a function - the way return does - but not stop the function - the way return does?

I need this so I can keep returning values every so often. (Delays provided by time.sleep() or whatever.)

Answer 1

I think you are looking for yield. Example:

import time

def myFunction(limit):
    for i in range(0,limit):
        time.sleep(2)
        yield i*i

for x in myFunction(100):
    print( x )
