generator testing and attrs

if you do
>>> def f(): return 1
>>> dir(f)
and
>>> def f(): yield 1
dir(g)
You'll see that g has many attributes that f doesnt. Maybe you can use one of them.

IMO a better way is letting the caller passing you ONLY functions.
In case of a generator if should pass the .next of the generator.
e.g.
l = []
def add_func(f):
    l.append(f)

def add_gen(g):
    l.append(g().next)

for f in l:
    print f()

HTH.
