Python: next in for loop





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;

I want to use next to skip one or more items returned from a generator. Here is a simplified example designed to skip one item per loop (in actual use, I'd test n and depending on the result, may repeat the next() and the generator is from a package I don't control):



def gen():
for i in range(10):
yield i

for g in gen():
n = next(gen())
print(g, n)


I expected the result to be



0 1
2 3


etc.



Instead I got



0 0
1 0


etc.



What am I doing wrong?

          You're making a new generator each time you call gen(). Each new generator starts from 0.



          Instead, you can call it once and capture the return value.



          def gen():
          for i in range(10):
          yield i

          x = gen()
          for g in x:
          n = next(x)
          print(g, n)
