Thanks!

I've also found one interesting bug in genexpr implementation

http://trac.cython.org/cython_trac/ticket/724


In CPython iterator is evaluated before genexpr is created.

class Foo:
    def __iter__(self):
        print 'iter'
        return self

    def next(self):
        return 1

g = (i for i in Foo())
print g

will print in cpython:
iter
<generator ...>

and in cython:
<generator...>

Don't know how to deal with it now.
