Technically, it's not a generator. It's a range object. Generators can
return anything, and you have to program them by using yield:

def gen():
    yield 1
    yield 2
    if today() is Tuesday:
        yield 99
    yield 3


whereas range() objects are much more specific in what they can do. But
otherwise, they behave in a similar fashion.
