The usual thing if you want to use the generator's output more than once  
would be to convert the generator to a list, then you can iterate over it 
as often as you want.

>>> a = ['a', 'b', 'c']
>>> g = (i for i in a)
>>> restartable = list(g)

If you want the output of the generator to potentially change each time you 
iterate then you need to create a new generator.
