(meaning he wants to have either generators or normal
 list-returning functions depending on the python-version)

well, you have two options:

(1) put the different versions in different files

(2) put both versions in one file

Most people will recommend to do it the (1) way.
This means you put your generator functions into e.g.
'funcs_generators.py' and the list-versions into 
'funcs_oldway.py' 
then:

    try:
        import funcs_generators as funcs
    except:
        import funcs_oldway as funcs

    for item in funcs.getsome():
        print item

where getsome could be a generator or a full-list-constructing
function.

If you want to put both versions into one file
it *is* possible but involves some tricks which 
are considered 'bad style'. So i am only going
to show them if you don't want to go with the the other
method :-)
