How to Pythonically yield all values from a list?

Question

Suppose I have a list that I wish not to return but to yield values from. What is the most Pythonic way to do that?

Here is what I mean. Thanks to some non-lazy computation I have computed the list ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], but my code through the project uses lazy computation, so I'd like to yield values from my function instead of returning the whole list.

I currently wrote it as following:

List = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
for item in List:
    yield item

But this doesn't feel Pythonic to me.

Looking forward to some suggestions, thanks.

Answer 1

You can build a generator by saying

(x for x in List)

Answer 2

Just wrap your list by iter to create a listiterator e.g.

return iter(List)

BUT why you need to do that? you can just return List ?
