我的答案解决了稍微不同的问题:如果初始化生成器的开销很大，生成每个生成的对象的开销也很大。但是我们需要在多个函数中多次使用生成器。为了只调用一次生成器和每个生成的对象，我们可以使用线程并在不同的线程中运行每个消费方法。由于GIL，我们可能无法实现真正的并行，但我们将实现我们的目标。

这种方法在以下情况下做得很好:深度学习模型处理了大量图像。结果是图像上的很多物体都有很多遮罩。每个掩码都会消耗内存。我们有大约10种方法来进行不同的统计和度量，但它们都是一次性拍摄所有图像。所有的图像都装不下内存。方法可以很容易地重写为接受迭代器。

class GeneratorSplitter:
'''
Split a generator object into multiple generators which will be sincronised. Each call to each of the sub generators will cause only one call in the input generator. This way multiple methods on threads can iterate the input generator , and the generator will cycled only once.
'''

def __init__(self, gen):
    self.gen = gen
    self.consumers: List[GeneratorSplitter.InnerGen] = []
    self.thread: threading.Thread = None
    self.value = None
    self.finished = False
    self.exception = None

def GetConsumer(self):
    # Returns a generator object. 
    cons = self.InnerGen(self)
    self.consumers.append(cons)
    return cons

def _Work(self):
    try:
        for d in self.gen:
            for cons in self.consumers:
                cons.consumed.wait()
                cons.consumed.clear()

            self.value = d

            for cons in self.consumers:
                cons.readyToRead.set()

def Start(self):
    self.thread = threading.Thread(target=self._Work)
    self.thread.start()

class InnerGen:
    def __init__(self, parent: "GeneratorSplitter"):

        val = self.parent.value
        self.consumed.set()

Ussage:

genSplitter = GeneratorSplitter(expensiveGenerator)

metrics={}
executor = ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=3)
f1 = executor.submit(mean,genSplitter.GetConsumer())
f2 = executor.submit(max,genSplitter.GetConsumer())
f3 = executor.submit(someFancyMetric,genSplitter.GetConsumer())
genSplitter.Start()

metrics.update(f1.result())
metrics.update(f2.result())
metrics.update(f3.result())

它可以通过code对象来实现。下面是一个例子。

code_str="y=(a for a in [1,2,3,4])"
code1=compile(code_str,'<string>','single')
exec(code1)
for i in y: print i

1 2 3 4

for i in y: print i


exec(code1)
for i in y: print i

1 2 3 4

我不知道你说的昂贵的准备是什么意思，但我猜你确实有

data = ... # Expensive computation
y = FunctionWithYield(data)
for x in y: print(x)
#here must be something to reset 'y'
# this is expensive - data = ... # Expensive computation
# y = FunctionWithYield(data)
for x in y: print(x)

如果是这样的话，为什么不重用数据呢?

>>> def gen():
...     def init():
...         return 0
...     i = init()
...     while True:
...         val = (yield i)
...         if val=='restart':
...             i = init()
...         else:
...             i += 1

>>> g = gen()
>>> g.next()
0
>>> g.next()
1
>>> g.next()
2
>>> g.next()
3
>>> g.send('restart')
0
>>> g.next()
1
>>> g.next()
2

你可以使用itertools.cycle()来实现这一点。 您可以使用此方法创建一个迭代器，然后在迭代器上执行for循环，迭代器将对其值进行循环。

例如:

def generator():
for j in cycle([i for i in range(5)]):
    yield j

gen = generator()
for i in range(20):
    print(next(gen))

将生成20个数字，0到4重复。

医生说:

Note, this member of the toolkit may require significant auxiliary storage (depending on the length of the iterable).

没有重置迭代器的选项。迭代器通常在遍历next()函数时弹出。唯一的方法是在迭代迭代器对象之前进行备份。下面的检查。

创建包含0到9项的迭代器对象

i=iter(range(10))

遍历将弹出的next()函数

print(next(i))

将迭代器对象转换为list

L=list(i)
print(L)
output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

所以第0项已经跳出来了。此外，当我们将迭代器转换为list时，所有的项都会弹出。

next(L) 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#129>", line 1, in <module>
    next(L)
StopIteration

因此，在开始迭代之前，需要将迭代器转换为列表以备备份。 List可以用iter(< List -object>)转换为迭代器
