comparing elements of a list with a string

[Shriphani]

Hello,
Would that mean that if I wanted to append all the (date, time) tuples
to a list, I should do something like:

for file in list_of_backup_files:
    some_list.append(file)
By the way I did this:

def listAllbackups(filename):
	list_of_backups = glob(home+'/Desktop/backupdir/*%s*'%filename)
	for element in list_of_back:
		if element.find(file) != -1:
			date_components = element.split('-')[-4:-1]
			date = str(date_components[0]) + ":" + str(date_components[1]) +
":" + str(date_components[2])
			time = element.split('-')[-1]
			yield (date, time)
print listAllbackups('fstab')


I ran it in the terminal and I got:

<generator object at 0x81ed58c>

Why does it do that and not just print out all the values of (date,
time)
